PER FAVORE TOCCA • PLEASE TOUCH • POR FAVOR TOCA is a collage of bronze tree bark squares from trees in Italy, Mexico and Wisconsin. Each square responds to touch with dappled green lighting from behind. Two ironwood mallets are mounted on the wall, encouraging viewers to explore the sound that each square makes when tapped.
