Eating Through Living

EATING THROUGH LIVING - Jenny Holzer & Peter Nadin

amazing find from the library last night --

i was just perusing the stacks when this little guy caught my eye.

i can hardly find any information about it.

but it has some really interesting observations about people and some insightful truisms.

I could quote a million statements from this book. here's a few --

"I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT BRAINS, TUMORS, AND CAULIFLOWER LOOK ABOUT THE SAME AND I ALWAYS PICTURE THEM ON WHITE PLATES."

"IT CAN BE STARTLING TO SEE SOMEONE'S BREATH, LET ALONE THE BREATHING OF A CROWD. YOU USUALLY DON'T BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE EXTEND THAT FAR."

"THERE IS A PLEASURE IN STAYING HOME TO ADJUST EACH PHYSICAL DETAIL SO THAT WHEREVER THE EYE FALLS, THERE IS HARMONY. THEN YOU GO OUTSIDE AND DO THE SAME."

You Don't YoYo?

Five Obstructions:

1. Smaller Scale

2. Beard/ Moustache Zine

3. Only use the phrase, "Wake me up before you go go, don't leave me hanging like a yo yo."

4. Has to be my own imagery - no found photos.

5. Texture

For Readers of All Ages

current favorite book in the library:

The Fold-Out Atlas of the HUMAN BODY

LOOK AT THAT BEARD/ STACHE COMBO!

i'm currently gathering information for a facial hair inspired zine.

Could they have given me a better obstruction? i think not.

I think this project will involve alot of interpretive doodling and texture.
