tactile cordage: woman wearing a gas mask

A photograph of the sculpture I made for image 3. It is a naked woman wearing a gas mask with her arms and legs tied to points out of view. I used fimo, sculpey, cardboard, twine, mesh, carpet tape & ribbon to create this work. It is mounted on a piece of Braille paper, ready for the thermoform machine.

Tactile Mind Studio Limited Lisa J. Murphy New Tactile Book Spring 2015

Book of tactile photographs with braille for the blind/vision impaired to be released Spring 2015.

Hopefully all diagrams will pass second proofreading, and my thermoform machine won’t eat them.

It’s taken me awhile to get this finished – Life got in the way.

Lisa J Murphy Previous Work Tactile Canadian Lynx

A tactile thermoform diagram of a Canadian Lynx, side view.

This was my very first “acceptable” tactile diagram; my first try looked like “roadkill with oven mitts”.
