Breath Drawings
A series of performance vignettes and a video.
The artist is trying to make her breath visual. In a number of ways, she attempts to make breath drawings - blowing into water, breathing onto ice to make it melt, making patterns on a thin layer of flour.
Breath Drawings is an ongoing series, started in 2006 bringing together the many and varied ways in which breath can be seen. The work was made soon after the Caroline Wright had completed a residency in a speech therapy department where she became very aware of the effects of efficient breathing had on speech and by association, effective communication.
