Each Deep Breath… is a video comprised of 1,225 frames of Risograph digital print overlaid into a stop motion animation. Within the animation Henderson explores the delicacy involved in meticulous crafts with an ethereal, inherently female perspective providing thoughtful contemplation on the moments of time when we are waiting. The animation shows the gazes of women framed within the transformation of a butterfly interspersed with interludes of the North Sea.

Update to visitors
As you may be aware, Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art and National Glass Centre visitor centre has recently been closed due to storm damage to the riverside front of the building.
However, we’re delighted to say that we are now open!
Things will be a little bit different for a while as we continue to address the storm damage to the riverside front of the building. But our team has worked hard to make changes so that we can offer visitors a packed programme of exhibitions, events, activities and shopping.
Please read our reopening information before your visit.
