Can I touch it?
I have had to tell people not to touch works of art on multiple occasions. The desire to fondle, rub, squeeze and pinch is hard to discourage. Sometimes people flick and knock on things. Why? Where is their sense of decorum? Apparently the old adage 鈥渨ith your eyes, not your hands鈥� was not conveyed to them in grade school. Still鈥擨 get it. I want to touch too.
The artists featured in this exhibition: Alec Egan, Mandy Lynn Ford, Bobby Mathieson, Sophia Narrett, and Mette Tommerup all create works that beg to be tactically explored. From overt non-traditional two-dimensional medium to thick and trompe l鈥檕eil applications of paint, each work speaks to surface, texture and material narrative.
