Touched by connecting, thinking, feeling, collaborating. Touched by friendship, love: platonic, erotic, filial, or all at once. Reaching towards touching desire and its triangulations. Eros, and what is bittersweet. Obsession: with anything! Kylie Minogue breathing “oh my god, touch me right there.” Abstracting touch, and its marks and residues.
