charging the primary feeling of (almost tactile) sensitivity Explanation: Charging, as in filling up a battery or a reservoir. As an aside, I think the original is a little overwrought and can't be expected to make much sense. |

emphasizing the primary, almost tactile, feeling of something sensory Explanation: IMO here caricare is to emphasize. As I understand it, the sculpture is at times perceived as something more sensory or tactile and at others as something metaphorical. The artists use of the medium regulates this perception. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2017-06-05 11:47:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or exaggerate but I prefer emphasize caricare (kariˈkare) transitive verb 2) (figurative, esagerare) "to exaggerate" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2017-06-05 11:48:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/italian-english... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2017-06-05 21:05:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Pleased excuse spelling/punctuation!
