Tactile Color showcases the artwork of SallyB, who creates touchable fabric interpretations of master works, bringing the two-dimensional art world directly into the hands of the viewer.  The project began as a way to bring significant artworks to the blind or those with low vision, but has become a genuine example of universal design and a wonderful experience for everyone.

North of Interstate 670, crystalline cones of road salt change shape and elevation with the seasons. In the interchange of Interstate 70 and 670 sumac, wild rose and black locust colonizes broken concrete slabs among abandoned rail lines. West of Highway 315 cliffs and clear pools are framed by gray birch growing in fractured limestone. These feral landscapes, comprised of thickets, stockpiles, and industrial ruins structure the urban matrices of Columbus, Ohio.
