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.

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”.

Lisa J. Murphy Previous Work Tactile Snail

Found this tactile thermoform page in a box. I believe it’s a type of sea snail.

I created the original sculpture using diagramming foil.
