About Breather
Back in the shoegazing years, when I was studying at the old Hornsey School of Art, there was a beautiful surge of guitar fuelled wall of noise bands on the scene, one of whom, Chapterhouse, released a track entitled Breather. It’s a piece that’s stuck with me ever since.
Breather was drawn a little while after Eight Ball and has the same basic intention, to create a longer work that has an almost cinematic feel. Something you could walk past, that has multiple areas of interest to view as individual sections of the larger whole.
I’d decided I wanted to create a number of these larger cinematic pieces for my Lucid / RMX show, that would play to the idea of inhabiting a landscape with sculptural objects and calligraphic mark making, which in the case of Breather would have a superfluid, liquid feel almost as if the whole piece was underwater.
I was working with the title Aqualung before switching at the last minute to the far more evocative Breather.
It’s pictured here in a collector’s home at 240cm wide. A scale that works really well as you can get really drawn into the detail and mark making when you walk past the piece at this kind of size.
