O knihe

Forward by E.C. Waddington: Many chemical and physical changes are reversible, although some are not. One example of an irreversible physical change is the cracking of an egg. It can only be done in one direction: forward. Keeping it Together reminds me of an egg cracking in reverse - it is rare, defiant, unexpected. You want to see it in slow motion, over and over again. Read on and see the slimy whites and rich yolk splattered on the floor with shards of shell scattered around. Watch the waves of viscous protein crawl to the epicenter of the explosion and gather together. Note the feeling in your stomach as you see the eggshell fragments align together, as the yolk is sucked back in as the final globs of white slip between the cracks, as the fracture lines fade out. It is whole again, it is pure again, impossible - but you are sure you had just seen its guts spilled out on the kitchen floor. Inside Keeping it Together, you will find a raw, unusual, and interactive reflection on the self and the artist. It is a whimsical and gross exploration of what it means to create art, what it is to be art in space as time, the horror of falling apart, and the weirdness of clotting back together. When I first read through the manuscript, my soul was cracked open on the counter and its shell flew apart. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and that you are inspired to break a few eggs too.
