Squish, Edition of 5, Silicone, Foam, 20cm x 9cm x 20cm , 2022

Squish is a curated collection of tactile sculptures crafted from an array of sensorially stimulating materials, silicones, gels and foams. Designed to serve as both decorative pieces and tools for sensory engagement and play, each object invites exploration through touch and interaction.

The essence of Squish lies in the intertwined concepts of sensory play, intimate tactile experiences, and reimagining the notion of adult "toys." Utilizing silicone and abstract, ambiguous forms, the collection evokes associations with sensuality, flesh, and bodily contours, inviting users to delve into a somatic journey of play.
Whether displayed as art objects or incorporated into intimate settings, the true purpose of these creations remains open to interpretation. Each encounter prompts a dialogue between function and perception, challenging conventional notions of use. Embracing the fluidity of interpretation, Squish encourages users to explore the boundaries of tactile pleasure and sensory exploration without constraint.
