The image below was another piece at the exhibition at Harewood House, one that I think epitomises what I said in a previous post about the audience being kept at a distance from the artwork. The sign at the bottom says 'Please Do Not Touch' and is a phrase I'm tired of seeing at galleries. Throughout my experience as an artist I have been constantly aware of texture in my pieces, as have most other artists. Texture is one of the most important things in art and being forbidden from touching a piece or getting close enough to see the detail means that you cant often experience the art to its full extent.
