This rug can be experienced by people who are visually impaired. There is an audio description of the piece at the gallery and people are free to touch the rug. I used sari-ribbon for the sky which has a rough feel to it, Judy's dress is hooked from soft roving and I raised the loops for the water so that the rug can be "seen" with the hands.

 

Thanks again to Bruno Vinhas for making art accessible.

SENSORIUS: WHERE THE SKIN MEETS THE EYE

Removing barriers is the way to create an environment that will give equal opportunities for the population as a whole. Integration, respect, adaptability, and challenging stereotypical portrayals can and will generate a healthy change in attitudes. Accessible spaces and works early on in the curatorial design process have been the primary focus of Sensorius: Where The Skin Meets The Eye. With works from Alex Antle (NL -CA) / Ashleigh Downey (IRE) / Five Island Rug Hooking group (NL -CA) / Jade Yumang (PH/ BC-CA/US) / Janet Peter (NL - CA) / Jennifer Young (NL -CA) / Joanne B Kaar (SCT) / June Walker (NL-CA) / Kelly Bruton (NL- CA) / Laura Kenney (NS -CA) / Sarah Albu (QC-CA)
