PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Rosalyn Driscoll is an independent visual artist and scholar. Her work has been exhibited in the US, Europe and Asia, for which she has won numerous awards. Driscoll was an acting director at Brattleboro Museum and Art Centre from 1985-1990.
The Sensing Body in the Visual Arts begins with the sculptor asking a simple question: what would it be like for someone to experience the work of art through touch alone? This takes her, and her reader, on a complex exploration of sensory perception and aesthetics. Touch, as Driscoll reveals, involves far more than the simple recognition of forms through tracing their outline, or the simple appreciation of different textures. A fully embodied experience of art links the intellect with the emotions, and intertwines time, space and movement. The book boldly challenges conventions of art criticism and museum display practices. It is a compelling read for anyone interested in art, with much to say to cognitive science, aesthetic philosophy, art criticism and museology. * Georgina Kleege, author of More Than Meets the Eye: What Blindness Brings to Art (2018) *
