Breath sculptures are a series of stoneware portraits made in the span of a single breath. The process of creating the works is performative, and includes holding the breath while creating the work, and timing the process with a stopwatch. Each piece is catalogued with a unique  number as well as the amount of time it took to create. The portraits can later be fired or left unfired. They are installed on the floor or on a low surface, beneath a projection of the “Breath Sculpture Video.” Juxtaposing the sculptures with the video adds a dramatic dimension that helps create narrative and clarifies the process.
