This commission tells the story of two recently felled Oregon Maple trees that hold memories of significant events and histories at the heart of Trinity College Dublin. The accompanying project also suggests a journey through the grounds of Trinity – like a section through its anatomy.

Future Breath is an evolving work about the importance of the air we breathe and the unmistakable threat to plants and nature we face in the wake of climate change. Commissioned by the Trinity Creative Challenge Award, the artist embarked on a journey to explore the notion of breath for an artwork constructed for Science Gallery Dublin in collaboration with Trinity College Herbarium, The Botany Department, School of Natural Sciences.

“Future Breath is a multi-part slide installation that weaves together narratives of studies in human breath, medicine and plant remedies from Trinity’s archives, and the idea of coexistence in a world moved by invisible networks. The installation also comprises a series of paintings that seeks to capture the innate environment-sensing capacity of plants. The paintings represent an alternative archive of new knowledge made by the toxic pollutants that permeate our city.”
