Throughout the 2025 calendar year, I made 356 8x10” lumen prints of my daily meditation. This was both an action of care for my mental health, but also an opportunity to listen deeply to Gadigal and Wangal Country, thereby exploring the late eco-philosopher Joanna Macy’s idea of “greening of the self” through prolonged, careful, attention to the natural world. Cumulatively, the prints record more than 59 hours of meditative listening, and being, in place.
breathing is situated at the intersection of self-portraiture, meditation practice and the history of lumen printing to record plant specimens. Central to the project are my ongoing interests in reciprocity, entanglement, and repair, and how I best inhabit the role of custodian as a white person of settler-coloniser ancestry in so-called Australia.
