Touch Points is a collaboration with Archeologist and Artist Karin Dahl that explores the questions how do we know a place? What materials define relationship with a place? Touch Points follows the pace of Relationship, with intentions to foster a longitudinal collaboration. The initial Touch Points project was an archeological and somatic dig that occurred to while attending the Social Studies residency in Colusa, CA (2019). Areas of inquiry focused on understanding our somatic response to soil, as well as establishing connection with place through a collaborative sensory experience. Touch Points II ORB, involves burring cylindrical clay orbs that contain messages from the past, present, and future.
Clay interviews is a project that explores what happens in a clay-human dialogue. Each human interviewee is chosen because of an unexpected or transitional life moment they are experiencing. They are facilitated to drop into a reverent ‘i - thou’ (Martin Bubber) relationship with Clay, the non-verbal interviewer. The conversation that results is captured in photo and a follow up verbal sharing is recorded with audio.
