On Melting

The boiling point of human blood is approximately 100.5 degrees Celsius (212.9 degrees Fahrenheit). Flesh itself does not 'melt' per se but it can be vaporised, dried out, and eventually turned to ash. So, if organic material literally cannot melt, why does it present such a fascinating new system of transformation to us?

On Melting compiles essays and interviews which are in opposition of the body. Kelso explores the beautiful potential of our protoplasmic degeneration with hope and longing in his heart.
