This article focuses on the cultural meaning of art mediated intra and interpersonal touch and space (AMITS) phenomena amongst a group of Korean, female, graduate students (n = 22). In a workshop, each student created and shared a personalized Attachment-Based Cloth album. While sharing their albums, the participants' cultural based AMITS behaviors included frequent reaching out to, touching, and manipulating their partner's album. Analyses of a survey suggested that AMITS themes were respect, care, and support, the degree of which was mediated by familiarity. Engaging with AMITS also facilitated the expression of autobiographical memories and interpersonal relationships, communication of respect, and could replace some of the functions of physical touch.
