Exploring Biscayne National
Park With Your Senses
by Angelo CarusoWhen was the last time you closed your eyes, reached out, and touched a tree? What about the smoothness of a sand-worn shell on the beach? Or felt the breeze on your skin at a park? This zine captures the essence of these tactile experiences. Make this piece yours - it’s not intended to stay flat. This zine asks you to poke holes in it to create a three dimensional tactile artwork. Everything gets crumpled, ruffled, or folded at some point. Why not now? There’s the skin of a crocodile that you can reach out to touch, ants tracing a trail along the forest floor, or the swish of seagrass at the bottom of the bay waiting to be felt.
Bio:
Angelo Caruso is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Lake Worth, Florida. He has exhibited in gallery shows in South Florida and works in a variety of media from print to highly tech-based. His work encompasses tactile, multisensory, interactive, and digital art. He holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Florida State University but is largely self-taught as an artist.
His works connect the senses, linking touch to sound, sound to light, and the confluence of all three. Some works seek to be purely tactile to the exclusion of all other senses. The interplay between the senses is key to our life, our survival, and ultimately our experience of art. Caruso’s work seeks to push the boundaries of art as a sensory experience.
