Excited to share my first journal article in the European Intellectual Property review! It explores visual biases in UK copyright law and how this may marginalise blind/tactile artists by failing to recognise tactile art (works experienced by touch).

Tried stone carving for the first time @bristoluni.bsky.social sculpture festival. Might keep my attempt at an ammonite for a future presentation about tactile artwork- it feels more realistic than it looks (or so I’ve been telling myself)

Overcame a bout of writer’s block today with a beautiful view of Seefin Mountain (Ballyhoura Mountains, Co. Limerick).

Particularly enjoyed the second room in her exhibition where we gingerly placed our hands through the opening of a metal box to explore a non-visual work inside via touch.
An example of a tactile artwork which may really test the boundaries of the definition of an artistic work under UK copyright.

Sienna uses Irish seaweed in the creation of her works which of course I absolutely loved- sustainable and Irish!

Was really excited to explore Sienna Murdoch’s incredible geline works via touch at No9 Cork Street yesterday. Lots to think about for my PhD research on how #copyright handles non-visual and #tactileart

3) Not strictly a sensory work, but I was delighted to be given a private tour of Gerry’s Pompeii by Sasha Galitzine. We thought about ways to make this wonderful environment a tactile experience as well as a visual one. www.gerryspompeii.com

2) Participants were invited to feel and describe Sienna Murdoch’s tactile jelly works without looking at them. Our verbal descriptions were captured to help Sienna create a glossary of touch- something which may be useful for describing sensory works within legal proceedings in the future.

1) Anthony McCall at Tate Modern. Incredibly mesmerising light installations which change form with audience interaction. The smoke patterns are almost in a continual state of change.
