Casey Gardner
The Gravity Series

2017

About the Item

Gravity is the attractive force that exists between every object in the universe. As one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, gravity is strong enough to hold galaxies together (two trillion and counting) and precise enough to give weight to each individual. Like love, gravity is invisible yet essential. So finely tuned is gravity, that if its proportion were even very slightly altered, our universe would not have emerged; life would not exist. This series of books reckons with gravity as a powerful universal, yet intimate force holding everything in perpetual motion and relationship. Magnetically held in a sturdy portfolio that reveals the science behind gravity, each of the three books tells a tale of this vital force in terms of falling, rising and orbiting. "How to Fall" is about how the universal, yet personal force of gravity guides our velocity in the unknown. Falling in love, that sublime catapult, is a story of infinite permutations, and varying weights. It can be exhilarating yet daunting when a new center of the universe emerges. Meanwhile, falling is a lapse of control, an abandon, and a fall from grace can unleash havoc. "All There Is" is a book is about trust, finding your own center of gravity and moving your own weight. Humans are forces of nature wending their own paths through 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" is about two mutually attracted bodies revolving around a joint center of mass, located in the space between them. In relationship, two bodies move closer together and farther apart as they follow 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. Letterpress printed with linoleum blocks and photo-polymer plates.
