After reading the section on "the feeling bubble," it made me realize how sensitive our skin really is to touch. I've always noticed the feeling of water on your skin, the feeling of being wet; but not until now did I really understand how sensitive our skin is. Even having a plastic bag over your skin still does need keep the touch receptors from working. I chose to capture these images to represent the way our skin reacts to water. One photo is of my hand in the water and the other is of my hand in a plastic bag but still in the water. In both situations, even if my skin was not really wet, I could feel the water.

Chicken wire and yarn Space approx. 3x5ft This project was aimed at using some sort of method in drawing on an object. I chose chicken wire because of how dimensional it is.

Process is always an important aspect in my work, as it has to be an enjoyable one for me to be able to commit to the process in the studio. I found the process of creating marks with yarn to be very important, as I find importance in textile materials.  Mary Grisey Rebecca Ward Richard Tuttle
