Pin touch on the ground
I was excited by the second prompt by Lisa, entitled “Touch”. I thought about the touch that human beings have with the ground. I once watched a beautiful ballerina standing on just one toe. All her weitght on one toe looked so difficult, yet so shapely. This pose must be
Touch the Stars
I love texture and can often be seen running my hand over tactile surfaces, taking close up images or just admiring the intricate details in nature. For this prompt I decided that, so many times, we are asked not to touch textile art when my hand, so now
Touch Me
It was so obvious. Touch. The one thing artists don’t usually let people do. Even artists that work with textiles because of their tactile qualities. We hang our art on walls along with a ‘do not touch’ signs. At best invigilators’ wearing white gloves will carefully lift the bottom
