Wasted Breath, 2009

Marcia Huyer - Toronto, Canada

Installation

In an abandoned urban alleyway, uncanny signs of life catch the eye. Piles of garbage bags inhale and exhale in an irregular breathing pattern. Viewers are invited to meander through a corridor of the financial district's enigmatically sentient detritus.

Marcia Huyer works with the medium of inflation, creating installations that confront the viewer physically, mentally and emotionally. Recent exhibitions include InterAccess, Ecotecture Canada, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Hamilton Artist’s Inc., and Artspace (Peterborough).  Public art installations include WADE and CAFKA. 

Suitable for all ages
