Abstract

For the Touch Symposium in September 2017, I presented my installation, World to escape to, salty seas to float, based on a poem by Sarah Kelly. I took as the starting point a hidden space behind the words, which through feeling, I converted into a structure combining words and sound, where the audience could create their own work through touching and interfering with items inspired by the sensations the poem gave me.
