A feeler gauge's poetry lies both in its name and the ability of its fingers to slip into spaces that are generally overlooked or seemingly nonexistent, like the sliver of a gap between a table and its legs or a window and its frame. The tool embodies these liminal, subtle, unseen and unarticulated spaces (or feelings) and provides notation for them.

​

English and Korean phrases holding emotional and conceptual sense and weight for me alone are etched on generic, ultra-thin feeler gauge blades -- if placed like a tongue depressor in my mouth, what would be heard or discovered? (And, how or what is my health?)
