What exactly is Tactile Art?
Art that is meant to be touched, interpreted, felt - both literally and spiritually. Ann Cunningham's Tactile Art, collections of Fairy Tales and Stories in Stone, are meant to be read by running your hand over the surface of each piece, interpreting what is felt and seeing the story with your mind, through your hands.
"I create art to engage diverse communities in a shared experience. I am constantly seeking ways to further engage all people with at least one of the five senses. So far I have been exploring the sense of sight, sound and touch. As I isolate the senses for exploration I realize I have just begun to understand the richness of each sense and the information each is capable of transmitting. I hope you will be inspired to explore my work primarily with your sense of adventure."
