How can we provide embodied safety for each other?

Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick writes, that a particular intimacy seems to exist between textures and emotions. I add: Then we ask our hands to answer the questions: what does the surface of safety feel like? What is the tactile sensation of the feeling in our hands?

The pictures here depict large rugs, six in total, with images of the hands of the people that I love, combined with these very tactile long piled carpets. They are also coupled with and audiowork, a reading of texts, that deepen the emotional connection to these works 

The audiopieces are autofictional stories of feeling safe and unsafe
