Scope and Contents
This piece was commissioned for "The Beauty In Breathing" exhibition. A calligraphed, rubberstamped tag meaning magic denotes a cross-section of lung, with the clear center the airway. The image relates to breathing as a binary event, i.e, in & out, full & empty, dirty & clean. The red ink elements symbolize oxygen and the violet elements, carbon dioxide. Dautricourt was inspired by a book by Souzanelle on Human Body Symbolism, viz., the pulmonary tree in Hebrew is rea, but if pronounced roe meaning to see, this word could be interpreted as "light in breath." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
