Inspired by the in breath...

I am delighted to be a part of the Life of Breath Project, a 5 year interdisciplinary investigation into historical, philosophical, cultural and anthropological aspects of breathing and breathlessness. 

The Project is led by Principal Investigators Professor Jane Macnaughton at Durham University and Professor Havi Carel at the University of Bristol.

After presenting to the group in January, Jane Macnaughton discussed her interest in experience the form of an in-breath. This discussion inspired me literally to produce new work in glass to explore the often not-so-subtle forces of the in breath.

On Thursday I worked to attempt to render this part of the exchange we have with our environment and found myself challenging my own breath and what I know of it in the process!
