White Breath

Materials: correction fluid (white-out/liquid paper) and mirrors, with light, sometimes. Dimensions: various

The White Breath mirror-correction works have taken various forms: discrete pieces (Performance Anxiety, 2004); site-specific and ephemeral interventions (A Short Ride in a Fast Machine, 2005); and large installations (White Breath (bond), 2000). Two new large pairs were made in 2009. Respiro Bianco (non ho sonno), in Italy for the exhibition Lo Sguardo di Giano at the American Academy in Rome, and White Breath (Passenger), which features in Mirror Mirror: Then and Now, Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane (2009), the Tin Sheds Gallery, Sydney University, and the Samstag Museum of Art, Adelaide (both 2010).

----------

Face to calm eye touch close all calm all white all gone from mind.

Samuel Beckett

I live only here, between your eyes and you,
But I live in your world. What do I do?
- Collect no interest - otherwise what I can;
Above all I am not that staring man.

Elizabeth Bishop
