Feeling Blind: Fur, Fetishism and Intimacy in Feminist Avant-Garde Art combines the traditional academic essay text with vignettes from a fictionalised memoir. In it, I argue that the presence of animal skins in the works of Rebecca Horn, Ana Mendieta and Catherine E. Bell indicates a complex relationship between materiality, proximity and the disruption of an intimate imaginary, effectively suspending the desire for point-to-point connectivity that underpins contemporary visual culture.
