Water Breathing- exhibit

Water Breathing - Statement

This is a further devlopment from "I like to be close to the rock to hear it breathing",my dad bought home an over head projecter the other day and I started adding it to the piece. The washing up bowl was replaced by the ohp and I projected the bubbles on the sheet of glass on top of the projecter, it then projects a shadow of bubbles. I really liked this c'os firstly it alowed me to control and actually draw with bubbles and secondly because the bubbles now had two lives the bubbles on the glass and their shadow being projected onto the floor . I showed this piece at an exhibition with with fellow artists at the exhbition "All Works". It became as I found out a live piece of art of about 20 mins as the bubbles evaporate in the heat, I liked how you could see the bubble's shaddows changing and disappearing through the night... My work seems to be getting so ephemeral its disapearing!
