A celebratory shout out for relating and engaging with others. Art has the potential of nurturing our connections to one another. Art can touch you and people -in fact always want to touch my art.... they will try to figure out if it’s soft or hard, how it is made. Textile in any shape or form is calling for contact and this piece, with its candy-like colours and playful installation, will draw you in from a distance, wondering what it will look and feel like up close - the magic of tactile attraction. I like to play with the contracts of soft and hard. The sculptors of antiquity aimed to softens the hard stones, while I, on the contrary, aim to make my soft materials look like stones - experienced from a distance - and reveals itself closer up and this sensation is a key to the work. Engagement!
