Touch
Diane Ackerman
The sense of touch can be more powerful than we understand.
From the time we are born, we rely on touch to help us grow, understand, and
manipulate the world around us. Ackerman responds to the many ways that people
use touch as a survival tool. It is essential to human nature, because without
the urge to touch, there would be no species or parenthood. There would be no
sex. Without touch, there would be fewer effects to a given cause. As a
reaction to 3-Dementional design, touch is how we communicate ideas and make
them visual. Throughout the semester I have been challenged to craft tape
shoes, paper cities, soap squirrels, voodoo dolls, architecture relief
sculptures, and much more by using our hands as a core tool. After taking 3D Concepts I now realize that a
promising future is literally at the tip of my fingers.
