Do we have the capacity to sense a form through embodied memory? Can we apprehend the qualities of matter and texture inside our bodies without touching? Is it possible to emotionally 'feel' a material? / This research investigates these questions focusing on understanding embodied ways of knowing, particularly the sense of touch, the haptic system and the relation these senses have to memory. I have undertaken an examination of these ideas through creating sculptural forms that reference the body. These concepts were also explored through researching relevant theorists and expanded upon in a discussion of the work of selected artists whose work alludes to the body through structure, process and materiality of form. / Thesis (MVisualArts)--University of South Australia, 2006.
