THE FEELING
A MUSKY, DRY WOOD impression:
an INVITATION — TOUCH. of sculpture, the things of craftsmanship, thoughtful, precise, warm, expansive, familiar. perhaps your childhood memory of hugging a tree or your adulthood of peeling away the bark to make something. a reminder of how things are made, the importance of touch, and our response to physical things.

SILHOUETTES
From the lens of a perfumer, Silhouettes explores the olfactive nature of an artist’s work—whether painting, sculpture, photo, film, music, or performance. In a series of interviews, essays, art reviews, and artist profiles, here perfumers translate the world of art into scent.
