About this event
In this art workshop, Jayne Wilton will explore the notions of the containment of breath in art history, and you will make your own breath visible using the print making technique of rubbing. Now more than ever, we need to take care of our mental health and wellbeing, and so Jayne will also guide you through mindful breathing processes and the expressive qualities of the breath.
No previous experience or knowledge needed to take part. All you need is some paper and a pencil. Additional materials will be sent to you ahead of the workshop.
Jayne Wilton Biography
Jayne Wilton is a visual artist who explores the breath as a unit of 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 was commissioned in 2016 by The Respiratory Lancet to create the 12 monthly Journal’s Covers for that year and collaborated with the 5 year Wellcome funded Life of Breath project culminating in the Catch your Breath exhibitions in Durham, Bristol and the Royal College of Physicians in 2019.
