Touch...
I'm pretty darned worn out. No way around it really. Luckily inspiration is fuel for me. I was moved to dig through some old stacks of resources dealing with the microscopic. I used to do a lot of painting where the primary figures were based loosely off of cellular structures and microscopic organisms. In any event, I'm working on pitching a show for a project space that deals with the sensation of touch. At the onset, I wanted to do something that dealt with the clichés of the sense of feeling. Though upon further thought, I think I might want to incorporate some of these ideas dealing with communicability into the work as well. Perhaps try to draw a parellel with the stigma of not touching Art in galleries and museums and the fear of disease and not handling the sick or dead. Might be interesting...

interesting. I am thinking about what you are thinking--they have been writing a lot lately as well about hypersensitivity and chldren with autism. of course here we ALL wear our clothes with the labels inside out, and as little clothing as possible! I hate labels!!!
I saw those microscope things on kates journal as well. really amazing.

Hey Yamina,
Thanks so much for your kind words! It is so very rare that I get to read any French nowadays, so it was a nice surprise.
Merci beaucoup!
