Seven meditative durational drawings documenting my breath in a tree-ring-like form. Tree stumps on the grounds of Gray’s School of Art were chosen as the basis for the initial outlined shape of each drawing and then every line following this are my own inhalations and exhalations marked down on the paper. The small gaps reflect the switch between an inhaled or exhaled line and notably, the lines became longer, the more immersed and meditative I became in the drawing. The title of each durational drawing reveals the length of time they took complete.
