Fingers are for Feeling
performance for camera and C-Type Fuji Matt prints on archival paper, 2022
Fingers are for Feeling is a performance for camera inspired by and in close proximity to the Schaum Keyboard Touch Finder, a vintage learning aid used to teach aspiring pianists to sight-read without looking at their hands. This performance emerges from a long-standing interest in paper costumes and keeping text close to the heart and hands.
‘Note: The Schaum Keyboard Touch Finder is to be used until the student is able to find the keys without looking at his hands on the keyboard and when the habit of keeping eyes on the music has been established. This will require at least 4 to 8 weeks of constant use.’
