Tap Tap is a product of our present moment–a touch less, distancing environment in a physical world navigating a global pandemic. Throughout history, clay has been used to keep records, decorate space, and create a range of functional objects. Inspired by working from home, taking online classes, and communicating through flat screens and smooth keyboards, Tap Tap uses the form of the keyboard to foreground physical communication. Cast in paper clay, Tap Tap is a visual and material record of time passing.
