InSignificance

Kiang Gallery, Atlanta Georgia

InSignificance explores the hidden perils found in the air we breathe: microscopic irritants like pollen, particulate carbon pollutants, mold spores and air-borne viruses. We have little choice- we must breathe the air that surrounds us, in our community and household. Depending on our situation we can be unknowing victims of the air we breathe.

45 Particulate Carbon molecules, suspended as clouds in the center of the room and located in the breathing zone of roughly 7 to 4 feet up from the ground. Each black porcelain form measures between 3-8 inches. As gallery visitors move around the piece, the molecules drift and sway in the wake.
