The Word Caresser series combines Braille with poetry to create a multi-layered reading experience that engages with the physicality of written ideas. Through these poem-objects, Lobo aims to convey the ambiguity that lives in poetry and highlight the power of words to create emotional and physical connections. The series is an invitation to touch and feel poetry, which is often seen as something intangible.
"Your Touch/My Tongue" is another work by the artist of the same series.
An online and physical survey/group show of text-based physical artworks by TheVERSEverse in partnership with L'Avant Galerie and Librairie Métamorphoses.
This is Part 2 of an exhibition. Part 1 "Poème Objkt", a conversation between poetry and the visual arts brought to life through the liminal play of the physical and the digital, opened in October 2022 at L’Avant Galerie Vossen.
