''Last year, everyone was reading the Fifty Shades of Grey book, except me. So I rang the Foundation of the Blind to ask for a Braille copy and they sent me one,'' she said yesterday.
''But the hard copy Braille version of Fifty Shades of Grey came in eight volumes and filled up two shopping bags.''
Ms Woods will use icing on biscuits to recreate a join-the-dots Braille version of the risque read.
''I thought it would be fun to use a sentence from the book to highlight how blind people access information about erotica and the world of bondage and discipline. And, in the process, hopefully dispel the myth that blind people are asexual,'' she added, with a smile.
Fifty Shades of Braille is on in the Community Gallery today and tomorrow. Also at the Community Gallery until Thursday is the thought-provoking 4:33 - Still Recording, which is a four minute and 33-second recording of ... silence.
Dunedin academic Holger Regenbrecht responds to the John Cage recording with three photographs which have the same length exposures as the three movements in the soundless scape.
''What is the artist? What is music? What is the space and the void?'' he asked me yesterday, when I asked him about the work.
The ever-popular ''Song Sale'' is on at The Church for the final time at 7 tonight, while Footnote Dance puts its best foot forward at Allen Hall at 8pm.
I saw the remarkable Entomo at the Temple Gallery last night. The three contemporary Spanish dance works are only just over half an hour in length and consist of Antipodas (15 minutes), Longfade (10 minutes) and Entomo (10 minutes).
The latter work was extraordinary, using a magnifying glass to illustrate the similarity and fragility of the insect and human worlds.
Entomo is on again at the Temple Gallery at 8pm today, tomorrow and Thursday.
The Fringe has been reaching out to some unusual venues around Dunedin.
The FireBugs' steampunk fire fable, Mr Faust and Dr Jabberwocky, was a big hit at the Gasworks Museum.
''We sold out seven of our eight shows. It was a fantastic venue. We'll definitely be back,'' chief firebug Keir Russell said yesterday.
However, the Fringe frayed for the Long Board Poetry Studio, after some of its ''Wild Lines'' of poetry installation was removed from the Otago Museum Reserve.
''The poems are all about community and generosity, so we're really pleased people like them,'' co-ordinator Loveday Why said.
''But it would be nice to have them back, so we can all walk through the poems in our own time.''
