7 SENSUAL WINDOWS ON THE WORLD The brain's pervasive, exhaustive mapping of the body covers not only
what we usually regard as the body proper — the musculoskeletal system, the internal organs, the internal milieu — but also the body's spying outposts — the smell and taste mucosae, the
tactile elements of the skin, the ears, the eyes.
The visuals and
tactile elements of home have such a huge impact on our emotional well - being and that is the focus that I explored through this book, providing resources for readers to explore
what truly makes them feel at home within their spaces and within themselves.
The act of assembling physical
elements adds a
tactile layer to the video art which integrates the props and in doing so breaks the boundaries between us as viewers and the artist themselves as we are reminded that they have actively engaged with
what appears on screen.
