Louise O'Boyle - Breathe

Mute

Breathe

Louise O'Boyle

This body of work was created over a two-day period 


Northern Ireland's north coast, the sea and its inhabitants inspired
and provided the visual, sound and physical elements included in this
reflection  

This reflection is a note to myself, a reminder to take time to breathe and be  

That sense of quiet panic, that fuels the belief that time is running out 


 What for? 


 The final outcome is the same 


 Fill this lifetime with memories 


 Fill and use all senses 


 Log and feel each moment  


 Take time to pause and breathe 


 Slow down to really see 




"You are a human being not a human doing" (COB, 2013)

b r e a t h e 

take the next 5 minutes to focus only on breathing  

    Look Lines map through the chalk and limestone Life continuing among the cracks Fused layers Feel and note the touch Outer and inner skins Records of the past

    Did sea define the land or land the sea?

    Each drew new meaning from the waves' collision.

    Sea broke on land to full identity.

    (Extract taken from Lovers on Aran by Seamus Heaney )
