Alice Forde’s Touch Me explores the ambiguity surrounding physical touch in modern society. Building on the dictionary definition of touch as ‘there being no space between two things’, these things are replaced by people and posed to create touches, holds and positions between them. The work is deliberately placed on the fine line between the preconceived depiction of good and bad touch and aimed at provoking a reaction or discussion that will inevitably be different for everyone. This is especially significant in a post covid world and at a time when the topic of touch between each other has shifted. People have reconsidered and changed their feelings from what they were only a couple of years ago.
