Abstract

The skin is the largest organ of the body. If we had no eyes, would we be like earthworms, dependent on our skins for where we are, what we know, and how to move around? Is a life governed by touch merely a life of dark wits lived in a hole in the ground? Can blind people offer an insight that will help the sighted to find themselves in art?
