This retrospective look at the career of artist David Maisel brings together a comprehensive chronology of his projects, starting with A Box of Bones from 1983, with a lyrically sequenced plate section drawing formal and conceptual connections across bodies of work that chronicle the complex relationships between natural systems and human intervention. Known for his aerial images of sites around the world, Maisel's images often initially appear abstract and painterly, offering detailed but open-ended visual information that operates as both documentary and metaphor, seducing viewers with a strange beauty that critics have dubbed "the apocalyptic sublime." Works 1983-2026 includes newly commissioned essays by Alexander Nemerov and Geoff Manaugh alongside reproduced earlier writing on Maisel's work by Terry Toedtemeier and Robert A. Sobieszek and a transcribed conversation between Maisel and author Samantha Harvey focused, among other things, on the visual and psychological perspective afforded by the aerial vantage point.

Working with changes to the Earth as a constant subject for nearly four decades, with a global purview but a particular focus on the American west, Maisel is acutely aware that "we are on a perilous trajectory with regards to the environment and climate change." His in-depth photographic series and video installations address the psychological and environmental impact of landscapes radically transformed by mineral extraction, natural resource reclamation, desertification, and military weapons testing. His large-scaled abstract paintings respond to the accelerating intensity of catastrophic climate change events such as wildfire and flood.
