Not a big, heavy book - square, thin...
Not infrequently, a visual artist and a writer produce a collaboration wherein the images and the text complement each other. Usually this works reasonably well, sometimes very well. But only very rarely does a partnership emerge that is so far beyond that as to be in a whole different world. Coalescence is the passionate and dynamic outcome of such a partnership Much more than a mere collaboration, this volume resulted from the coming together of two very different individuals — around the globe from each other — who found that their independent creations could be melded into incredible works of cooperative art. The contributors’ differences can be seen in their separate personal Introductions; the integration of their minds and spirits can be seen on the following pages.. This is not a book one can skim or scan. It is a book to soak in, like a spa of ever-new sensations — a whirlpool of blending, conflicting, life-enriching, and occasionally disturbing emotions. It is a book to savour, like a gourmet meal made up of course after delectable course. It is a book to experience, not simply read. From the foreword by John Ambury
