hands (spraypaint on canvas, 2005)
This was a piece I did back in 2005, and was really my first attempt at working in spraypaint.
I have always loved sketching hands because they are so descriptive and full of character. For this piece, I chose to take a simple line drawing of my own hand and cut it into a stencil.
The diagonal placement of the facing hands (inspired by Michaelangelo’s Creation of Adam) creates a visual tension, meant to pull the viewer in and create a sense of movement.
