Tule /Come

With Tule I try to get the viewer to forget about seriousness.

​

Tule is a dialogue between different tactile surfaces and colors. Those two create a playful body that titillates the eye but speaks directly to fingertips. Playfulness is a place where I want the person to stop because the power of playing charges our batteries over and over again.​ 

​

Work is based on sensory play where the author repeats movement, to calm overloaded brains. Squeezing pieces repeatedly gives a meditative, soothing feeling to me. 

Perhaps this feeling is related with fire-gazing or the repetitive devotions of prayer beads.

I believe that by following a path repeatedly with one’s fingers the wearer can bring calmness inside her.
