about

The piece was one of the outcomes of a collaborative project responding to the theme of ‘breathing’. Working with the Royal Berkshire Hospital Intensive Care Unit Support Group, I was intrigued by one gentleman’s recollection of the soundscape in the ICU. He told me how comforting it was to hear the various alarms and monitors around him, as it was a constant reassurance that he was still alive. In sounding the tides of the breath using household objects, I stumbled across the idea of juxtaposing this calm reassurance with the ‘panic’ of running out of toilet paper and bread flour.
