The first realm encountered in Osmose is a three-dimensional Cartesian grid, but with the immersant’s first breaths, this gives way to a clearing, surrounded by a forest.

“I sow to the four winds” is an interactive installation that reacts to breath. I like the simplicity of this project but at the same time, it is very powerful.

Soffio 5) and how he visualised breath “The clay is modelled on the imagined shape of a breath of air, exhaled from the artist’s mouth”

I discovered Piero work through researching his conceptualising of breath….
The powerful act of breath being symbolised and then being homed in a red balloon like a beacon on the plinth that monumentally stands erect! Then slowly deteriorates until just the reminisce of the process is left within flaccid piece of silicone.
And then based my 2 [...]
“When I breath out on a cold winters night the shape of my exhaled breath hovers for a fleeting moment in front of me,- an ephemeral, nebulous 3-dimensional cloud of condensation. For a moment I can see my permanent interaction with the environment, and in essence, see myself. As a glassblower the act of blowing [...]
