Touch is probably the most personal and private sense we have. We only want to be touched by people we know and trust. TOUCH&FEEL is the fifth work in the Senses Lights series. The series has moved from sound surrounding you, to vision directing you, to smell arriving uninvited, to taste pulling inward. Now it arrives at the most intimate place of all. Touching is physical and directional. We touch with the body. We feel with our whole being. 3D-printed PETG with internal LED illumination. Unique artwork.

Taste is one of the most intimate of the senses. TASTE&SAVOUR is the fourth work in the Senses Lights series. The series has moved from sound surrounding you, to vision in front of you, to smell arriving without warning. Now it concentrates, pulls inward, asks for something more personal. The question the work asks extends well beyond food. The light draws you in before the words are read. The piece is experienced before it is understood. Much as taste itself arrives before reflection can begin. 3D-printed PETG with internal LED illumination. 95 × 30 × 7 cm. Unique artwork.

Of all the senses, smell is the most elusive. It arrives without warning, without permission, and is gone before you can name it. SMELL&SCENT is the third work in the Senses Lights series. This piece turns to the sense that is the hardest to hold. Smelling is involuntary and immediate. The nose receives what the environment releases, without preparation or choice. Scent is something more considered, a quality attributed, named, remembered and carried. Perfume has a scent. Memories have a scent. A scent is both personal and universal. 3D-printed PETG with internal LED illumination. 82 × 30 × 7 cm. Unique artwork.

Vision is the sense you trust most. It is also the one you question least. LOOK&SEE is the second work in the Senses Lights series. It askes you to engage in what is presented to you. We point our eyes at the world and it returns an image. What wee see can be something completely different. An act of attention, interpretation and recognition that transforms what is looked at. The light arrives before the words do. We look first, and only afterwards, if we make the effort, we see. A question that is easy to read yet less easy to answer.

Introducing Senses Lights, a complete series of conceptual wall sculptures, each one built around word combinations from my Senses Project. HEAR&LISTEN. LOOK&SEE. SMELL&SCENT. TASTE&SAVOUR. TOUCH&FEEL. LEARN&KNOW. Each piece takes its pair and fuses them into a single 3D-printed, LED-lit typographic form. The shapes collapse into one another. To understand them, you have to pull them apart, go one level deeper than what you see. That act of engagement, that moment of reflection, is the work. The light reaches you before the words do. The words reach you before the meaning does. That sequence is intentional. Hearing is not the same as listening. Looking is not the same as seeing. The differences are small. That is precisely the point. Six unique artworks. Dropping one by one, starting this Wednesday.
