“Paper bags on their heads, and perched on bar stools under the lavender light associated with a nightclub setting, the artists were surrounded by a sea of popped brown paper bags, representing the measure of the breath that had been expended between them. Throughout Drawing Breath Wart and Cunningham were playing ‘What’s the time, Mr Wolf?’ … Mimicking each other in alternating sequences, they caught each other out with evident camaraderie.”

Ann Finegan on Drawing Breath in Daniel Mudie Cunningham’s book Are You There?

 

“Drawing Breath is a testament to the sheer grit and determination of people who experience life-altering trauma, and to the delightfully weird and wonderful ways these experiences can be transformed into creative practices that can expand our view of the world. The artists’ conversation is ultimately a life-affirming meditation on living with and breathing through the cracks in everything.”
