“It is as easy as breathing,” is more paradox than simile to sculptor Jeremy Thomley. At 4 months old, Jeremy was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, a disease causing the fluids of the lungs and digestive tract to thicken, wreaking havoc on the respiratory and digestive health of its victim. It is life-threatening. Thomley’s parents were warned that their child would likely never reach adulthood. But Thomley, now 32, defied those odds. Jeremy began creating his works of lung art as an expression for the challenges he faces living with cystic fibrosis.In 2005 he unearthed a passion for rock-climbing and in 2006 discovered his medium of welded sculpture. These outlets would provide the voice and language for Thomley to tell his story.
