The Tenderness Journals - Fibreart
Only six pieces left from this collection!
Handmade works of interactive fine art that demand to be touched!
These Tenderness Journals exist because the language of touch is much louder than that of words, and because this world lacks tenderness. I wanted to make something that people could hug, caress, turn pages and be surprised and comforted by the feel of the textures.
I was also inspired by my love for journals and journeys - both words derived from the French word "jour" meaning day - a diary, a daily practice, a distance that can be traveled within a single day, echoing my belief that we can achieve a great deal, one thing at time and many things over time. Another inspiration is my love for stories and humanity's urge for mark-making since the dawn of time.
These journals are knitted, crocheted, looped, manipulated and curved, like secret, forgotten scripts. The absence of words more powerful than their presence. You can read these silent journals by touch, like Braille, but not quite, because they will say different things to different people. The colors draw you into their realm, and the pockets and clips allow you to personalize them as you wish with your own memorabilia.
