(Holly Hanessian)
My work is lies at the intersection of design, craft and contemporary art and diverges between making socially engaged and sensory immersive artworks. Recent projects range from social participatory activities that explore the intimate act of touch and its significance in the digital age to honoring local farmers who live in food deserts.
