The finished textiles invite us to reach out and stroke
but even if not actually touched,
we know how they feel.
The connection with the body's haptic sense adds poetic resonance to textile art.

Beautiful work...
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day :)
I love the word haptic, it is poetic in and of itself!
ReplyDeletewe take in so much through our hands and our skin - through our sense of touch. haptic is its own intelligence.
ReplyDeleteI think it also refers to the body's memory of how things feel...from when we were babies. I'd need to check that however.
