Description: |
Each book considers the force of gravity in terms moving in space in relation to others. These books investigate how we navigate the universal and very personal force of gravity. Such a force is powerfully, inexorably experienced, yet unseen … like love. Each book address an aspect of moving in gravity: falling, rising, orbiting. The interior of the carrier case is printed to reveal the scientific aspects and equations of gravity, along with the nature of gravity in our universe.--Artist statement from Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website (accessed August 16, 2018).How To Fall: Gravity guides our velocity into the unknown. In life, things can fall into place, fall in or out of line, or through the cracks; so many ways to fall. Falling in love is a plunge of infinite permutations, and varying weights. This sublime catapult can be exhilarating yet daunting when a new center of the universe emerges. Meanwhile, falling is a lapse of control, of abandon, and falling from grace can unleash havoc.All There Is: This book is about trust, finding your own center of gravity and moving your own weight. Humans are forces of nature finding their own way amidst forces of nature. Climbing is a negotiation of gravity while tethered to another. Sometimes letting go is the way to progress and rise.A Star Close Enough: In orbits, two mutually attracted bodies revolve around a joint center of mass, located in the space between them. In relationship, two bodies move closer together and farther apart as they mediate their distance, following the shape of their orbital path. Meanwhile, our earth is gravitationally bound in the most propitious orbit around our sun, making us just the right distance to receive its life-giving energy.The Gravity Series won the Grand prize award in the Ink Press Repeat Exhibition at the William Patterson University Gallery in NJ.--Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website (accessed August 16, 2018).I-ART: Library has 6/9 artists proofs. |
