The Spirit Is Breathing / John Furnival., 1991

 Item
Identifier: CC-10775-10985
Scope and Contents

Commissioned for "The Beauty in Breathing" exhibition. This screen of three hinged panels and a moveable panel of the letter "A" with recto-verso imagery is written in several languages with text alluding to the title. The five vowel sounds, especially the "A" are incorporated as major features of the design because vowels are the "only letters in the alphabet that represent sound made by breathing alone." The "A" is made prominent because it symbolizes creation. This standing screen is depicted in Furnival's "Lost For Words" (2011) on page 83. However, it is mislabeled as "Vowel Screen" (1986). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
