  • Ecotone

By Suffolk Artist Nat Whitney of The Overload Project. Ecotone is a soft, sonic landscape inhabited by tactile textile beings. Responsive to touch, they speak, sway, and bounce when squeezed, brushed, or gently bopped, inviting movement, sound, and playful communication with those they encounter.
