Graduate Exhibition - Let's Touch Base

Exhibited ceramics is often presented with a strict no touch policy, creating a barrier between the viewer and the artwork. Let’s Touch Base is designed as an invitation to the audience to interact with and touch the work, to create a connection. The tactile nature of ceramics has always fascinated me and through the use of braille I hope to engage the audience in a new way. The messages are provided from conversations had with members of the visually impaired community and from my own experiences, an inside joke of sorts between myself and those who can understand the language. I hope that this artwork connects with the audience and allows them to experience ceramics in a memorable way.
