Bonnie Kemske PhD
Into the Embrace.
A woman sits. She lifts a ceramic object, places it on her lap and settles it comfortably across her thighs. She explores the surface with her hands, feeling both its shape and its texture. She holds it against her torso, then placing her arms around it, she embraces it.
These sculptural ceramic objects are cast hugs, created as part of a practice-based PhD that aims to more fully engage the body's sense of touch in an experience of sensual groundedness, to make viewers into touchers, and to evoke the intimacy of bodily contact.
