Summary:
"On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr
Nina
Simone
gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave'
s
Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr
Simone
's piece of chewed
gum
from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The
gum
remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, a conduit that would eventually take Ellis back to his childhood and his relationship with found objects, growing in significance with every passing year.
Nina
Simone
's
Gum
is about how something so small can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process, friendship, understanding and love."--Publisher.
