Invisible Breath – Dryden Goodwin
© Dryden Goodwin, Breathe, first drawings, November 2011
Dryden Goodwin is working on a new animation which will highlight air pollution’s effects by bringing a very human experience to air pollution through the exploration of each breath. The emphasis of his work will be that air can both sustain us but also corrupt and damage us. Titled Breathe, he will create a series of drawings that he will animate and is planning project from St. Thomas’ Hospital on the Southbank, London.
In the build-up of the project, Dryden is working with doctors and scientists at Kings College and St. Thomas’ Hospital coordinated by Professor Frank Kelly of Kings College, London. Dryden is collaborating with Kelly’s research on the effects to our health, in particular that of children living in cities such as London with high concentrations of air pollution.
A connected education programme is planned that will involve poet Michael Rosen in workshops with children in St. Thomas’ Evelina Children’s Hospital.
