Scope and Contents
Commissioned for "The Beauty In Breathing" exhibition. The upper half of this picture depicts a tube-like structure connected to a larger semi-circular one, presumably a highly stylized representation of the lungs. White squiggley lines on a black ground within the latter give an appearance of oceanic tides, thereby providing a metaphor for the title of this work, i.e. Tidal Breathing. The lower half of the picture contains untranslatable hieroglyphics by Ely, his charactistic gestural marks. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
