Breathing
I have been researching the act of breathing to better understand the conscious and unconscious processes involved. In exploring our control of breathing I have expressed this as a continuum, ranging from anaesthetics at one end to meditative/calming awareness at the other. A series of assemblages using medical machine parts was presented in a hospital environment in a space used by patients and staff to walk and think. Porcelain forms and vessels are based on the idea of the volume of our lungs and a wave installation is based on the repeated form of an individual epiglottis, a part of our breathing anatomy.
