SEEKING SENSATION
This research is interested in the response of metal that is hand pierced or water jet cut with patterns of perforations, and it’s response to pressure in processes utilizing the hydraulic press. Pillowed metal acts as a container or cage, housing alternative materials such as silicone, furs, felt, flock, and other textiles. These materials spill or puff out of the perforations and portals in the metal, offering restricted access to the tactile experience. Considering concepts of interior versus exterior or permission versus restraint; I create these wearable objects to explore moments of touch, play, and intimacy.
