Erik Benjamins (US) collects images of the sun and turns them into micro-poems. At EKWC, he made and translated a number of them into Dutch with plans to publish them in the Netherlands as a chapbook. Poetry aside, his main focus was continuing to develop a modular series of ceramic reflexology tiles \u2013 tiles with bumps to tread bare-footed \u2013 based on the idea that stimulating the soles of our feet positively influences the entire body. Inspired by Reflexology Walking Paths, a phenomenon common, but not specific to countries throughout Asia, these tiles are intended as art objects and design tools as well as a (pretty uncomfortable) investigation of our physical interaction with the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":30899,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-29693","kunstenaar","type-kunstenaar","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","countries-united-states","disciplines-visual-artist"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
