Artist’s Discussion: Talking to the Fingers in the Language of the Eyes
Join Teresa Jaynes, artist-in-residence at the Library Company, as we explore the artistic process of Common Touch. Enjoy an overview of the Library Company’s Michael Zinman Collection of Printing for the Blind and learn how it inspired Jaynes to embark on a multi-year journey of research, exploration, and creation. Jaynes will share her perspective on this unique art installation where the world of 19th century historical collections intersects with a new world of tactile expression.
Common Touch: The Art of the Senses in the History of the Blind has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
