The Tenderness Journals / Fibreart Journals

دفاتر الدفء / مجموعة أعمال فنية نسيجية

These Tenderness Journals exist because the language of touch is much louder than that of words, and because this world lacks tenderness. And then Covid hit us all.
I wanted to make something that people could hug, caress, turn pages and be surprised and comforted by the feel of the textures.
The Tenderness Journals were also born of my love for journals and journeys - both words derived from the French word "jour" meaning day - a diary, a daily practice, a distance that can be traveled within a single day, echoing my belief that we can achieve a great deal, one thing at time and many things over time. Incremental changes add up.
The Tenderness Journals were also born from my love for stories and humanity's urge for mark-making since the dawn of time. I added pockets and clips for you to add your own memorabilia.
I make each piece myself. And I will continue to do so. My intention is to pass on the love and energy I feel as I create them.
The yarns are knitted, crocheted, looped, manipulated and curved, like secret, forgotten scripts. The absence of words is at times more powerful than their presence. These are silent journals which you can read by touch, like Braille, but not quite, because they will say different things to different people. And the colors will also draw you into their realm. 
The Tenderness Journals are works of interactive fine art that, unlike most art pieces demand to be touched.
