Inquisitiveness |

Surprise |
“I felt surprised by the texture of the oil pastel.”“I kneaded the material and suddenly felt surprise + connection, a disconnect from judgment.” |
Inspiration |
“Starting to squeeze, feel, knead, press, cut, rip, stick a finger, break into pieces, feeling inspiration, pleasure, openness, fear, interest.”“I went back to the touch and the sensation of pinching revived my inspiration, satisfaction and interest in what was happening.” |
