Please Don't Touch
Ever since childhood, artists Cecilia Lusven and Bussie Parker Kehoe have had to resist the urge to touch everything they see. That impulse now sits at the core of their practices. Working with simple, overlooked materials—leather remnants and old bicycle inner tubes for Lusven, discarded house paint for Kehoe—both artists test the limits of their mediums, pushing them to unexpected ends. Their works are tactile and sculptural, inviting contact, yet are accompanied by the familiar warning: “please don’t touch.”
