Kelt and I recently started a new project! For the past several months we've been working on drawing, so I thought it'd be interesting to try something 3-D. I haven't written the artist statement yet or figured out the specifics, but I want to work with a variety of materials, such as wax, glue, and clay, etc., to see what he likes. I'm curious to observe his process and learn if sculpture is a medium that he enjoys. I'm also interested in his relationship with the different materials. For example, when we started working with these keychains, he told me that he likes wrapping things and when he was younger, he used to wrap his toys like mummies and bury them in the backyard. I had no idea that he did this! This is the type of connection and story that I'm eager to discover.
The materials are also important because people with autism often have unique responses to sensory stimuli. Examples include high threshold for pain, oversensitivity to sounds or being touched, exaggerated reactions to light or odors, or fascination with certain stimuli, etc. Hypersensitivities and/or hyposensitivities vary depending on the individual; for people with autism the continuum ranges from no reaction to responses in all five senses.
