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
Touch of wind or water
I thought about “Touch” that Lisa proposed the second challenge. What I thought at that time was wind and water. There are many kind of wind, but I like the soft and a little cool winds. When it touches my skin, it does let me up get out of
Feel the Heat
