Sacred Touch

This body of work explores the significance of approaching touch, and other senses, as the means to access and process emotions, on and off the page.

‘I use my fingertips to disconnect from the outside and connect with the inside – a way of observing, a way of listening to my intuition. I experience this sacred touch to experience myself. Touch to listen, touch to feel, touch to observe, touch to understand’.
