Tactile Experience



























So, although this is a project from last semester, I avoided posting it until now for two reasons:

1. Although I'm happy with how this project turned out, I never thought it was my best work.
2. The photos cannot do it justice; it is about the performative aspect.

But, finally, I am posting it, because there is a video on Youtube now! My performance shows up about 1 minute into it.

The idea of the project was to make a wearable sculpture and a performance to go with that sculpture, all to be worn and performed by the creators at the Wearable Sculpture Dance Party in the Turner Gallery, the Friday night before Halloween. They couldn't be costumes; they had to be wearable sculptures. There had to be at least one sewn or papermaking aspect of the sculpture.
