Laura Letinsky: Seeing is an Extension of Touch
Seeing is an Extension of Touch is an inquiry into the way in which vision is rooted in the tactile sense; how our visual perception is an extension of touch as we probe the shapes and forms of the objects before us.
Raw elements of still life compositions—an orange rind, macerated fruit, stained linens, a barely-sipped demi-tasse—are almost tangible, leaving the viewer with the perception of having just taken part in a meal or gathering with those who have just stepped away. Ceramic sculptures made while in residence in Jingdezhen, China give the sensation of tension through pleats, gentle folds, and the organic glazes that dissolve with into one another. In two and three dimensions alike, Letinsky explores notions of contrast, nearness, and the synesthesia of sight and touch.
