The Strange Miniature Worlds of Matthew Albanese | Design + Ideas on WU

Gazing at the portfolio of artist Matthew Albanese , you’re likely to marvel not just at his guts for getting so dangerously close to a tornado or erupting volcano, but luck for always seeming to be in the right place at the right time.

His first stroke had injured only one hemisphere of his visual cortex.
