The Measure of The Breath is a performance drawing in which I practice directing perception towards a balanced center. The balanced center is a conception. However, the parameters determined for drawing become a technique to find or create that balanced center of perception. The instructions are to follow a line, pausing every so often. These pauses are given by an account of the breath, which I deduce as I enter into the action. For example, at first the pause in the line may have occurred every three inhalations, however, later on, the three inhalations become one inhalation in the same amount of time. The pauses become shorter and the lines longer. In this sense, breathing draws the line.
