Rebecca Horn, Artist
"Ideas of touch and sensory awareness are explored in this work. Horn has described how wearing these gloves altered her relationship with her surroundings, so that distant objects came within her reach: « the finger gloves are light. I can move them without any effort. Feel, touch, grasp anything, but keeping a certain distance from the objects. The lever-action of the lengthened fingers intensifies the various sense-data of the hand; …I feel me touching, I see me grasping, I control the distance between me and the objects. » Implicit in the work is the idea that touching makes possible an intimacy between our own body and those of others.

Elodie Antonie, Artist
"Using only thread as her drawing tool, Belgium artist Elodie Antonie illustrates big structures and industrial landscapes carefully by hand. Cranes, electric pylons, bridges and even nuclear landscapes are represented simply using only the humble material, and they are brought to life by traditional lace-making techniques that add some femininity to their depictions. Where the overbearing, man-made structures meet the delicate craft, Antonie has found a space to celebrate the hidden beauty of the monstrous in an unusual way."

Alice Anderson, Artist
Materials used are copper thread and doll hair.
"French-Algerian artist Alice Anderson’s compelling artwork and installations are tactile, complex, and evince a delicate beauty. As a painfully anxious child who struggled to speak, Anderson found relief in ritualistic activities -- namely winding fibers (from her clothing as well as her own hair) around objects. It’s a thread, quite literally, that runs throughout her work."
