"Denes began her compilation of data for this major work in 1972. Using dust as a metaphor and a connecting thread to facts and phenomena, she studies the human mind, our ethical values, standards of living, and survival, presenting haunting images of dust particles from outer space, such as the death of a star, distant and large objects in the universe, as well as earthly dust, including human dust, hallucinogens, poisons, chemicals, and nuclear waste." -- from the artist's website (http://www.agnesdenesstudio.com/writingsby.html, accessed 5/29/14)
16 full-page duotone photographs, combined with written pieces/data presentations on approximately seventy scientific and thematic topics relating to forms of dust.
