tactile cordage image 2 sculpture

So I turned this image on its side to post, just for kicks. It is a sculpture of a woman on all fours, with a saddle on her back, a blindfold on her eyes, and a bit in her mouth. Materials used are fimo, sculpey, cereal box cardboard, netting, twine, ribbon, and a small metal loop.

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.

About ‘tactile cordage’ by Lisa J. Murphy

I just finished a new project (March 2021) named tactile cordage. This work consists of 5 tactile thermoform images of Women in Rope, with grade-one Unified English Braille accompaniment. Because of Covid-19, I drew the images to sculpt from, rather than photograph people.
