Artist Stephanie Metz, who creates fascinating biomorphic sculptures (often using the technique of needlefelting), has several pieces in an upcoming group show. The premise of the exhibition, ‘Fully Tactile’, is that it is art to be touched!

Curated by Ian Buchanan, Ben Warner, and Jerry Kuns, this special five-day event invites visitors to actively engage with the exhibits: Feel the dance of the wood grain of a Douglas fir sculpture, run their fingers through the fibres of textiles, let their hands ‘see’ the intricacies of ceramic works, hug their way through a forest of felt, and immerse themselves in the sounds and the emotions of poetry.

In addition to Stephanie Metz’s works, Sadé Cole, Susan Roemer, Justin Kiene, Spike Milliken, and Diane Komater have pieces in the exhibition.

The show runs from the 24th through the 28th of July.
