Artist Statement

A world that breathes out is comprised of an installation made up of the traces of a speculative therapeutic
technology. In a duet with the water that it superceded, the sonic shower sings a slow lament before it is washed back into the earth.

Sculptures installed sparsely across the gallery. A curved pane of glass stands diagonally, resting on a organic, round concrete shape on the floor. Behind, a solid pole extending from the floor.
