I didn't fully appreciate the touch aspect of appreciating art until I worked at a touchable art gallery for visually impaired visitors. Being able to experience the art with all of my senses really heightened my emotional reaction to it!Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11636421018271389316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34634199.post-6339610217372792792008-10-03T09:19:00.000-04:002008-10-03T09:19:00.000-04:00Linda, I will plan to have a 'touch this' area during my next open studio and exhibit...and I love the idea of using 'touch', as you so beautifully wrote, to 'deepen the understanding' and meaning of the work. Thanks!Laura Sapellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03745586340277802408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34634199.post-27584591841251934352008-10-03T08:50:00.000-04:002008-10-03T08:50:00.000-04:00I think it's a great idea. Touching the muslin and the coating you use, feeling the fine network of threads would connect the viewer to the work in a corporal way. As you said, your work is visceral, so if there is a way to enhance the viewer's experience of it by using another sense, it would deepen the understanding.Linda Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06112236214088266446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34634199.post-40648559856920925312008-01-10T19:29:00.000-05:002008-01-10T19:29:00.000-05:00I love these new pieces in photographs. They seem serene, but evocative, like dreams you can't quite remember. I want wait to meet them in person.Linda Branch Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04587250459187246312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34634199.post-1159747101636380822006-10-01T19:58:00.000-04:002006-10-01T19:58:00.000-04:00http://made-in-italy.blogspot.comGiancarlohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01784772736937190588noreply@blogger.com
