Artwork: Breathe (Clinician) by Jayne Wilton

Jayne Wilton will discuss the concept and processes behind her work exhibited within the Catch Your Breath exhibition. Wilton will discuss her collaboration with the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospital rb&hArts Team that resulted in the etched copper plates, her collaboration with the Life of Breath project and how it resulted in the blown glass form: Breath which turns back towards itself, where she extended her focus from making visible the dynamics of the spent breath, to taking on the full breathing cycle.  Wilton will also discuss her inspiration to create 3D prints of the breath, in particular Concern, which is exhibited in the Catch Your Breath exhibition.

The tour will be held in the Catch Your Breath exhibition on the 1st Floor. Suitable for all ages and abilities. However, children must be supervised by an adult.

About Jayne

Jayne Wilton is a visual artist who explores the breath the exchange between people and their environments. Her practice uses darkroom processes with drawing, photography, video and sound to capture the usually invisible trace of breath as it moves across a surface. She graduated with an MA from The Slade School of Fine Art in 2010 and has shown extensively in the UK and abroad. Previous collaborations include working with Physicist Peter Hobson at Brunel University during a Leverhulme funded residency (2012). During 2014, she was awarded an Arts Council Grant for the Arts to work with Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to visualise the breath of staff and patients with COPD.  Jayne is currently collaborating with the Life of Breath project and was commissioned in 2016 by The Respiratory Lancet to create the 12 monthly Journal’s Covers for that year.
