the Hand Job

This all started with the finding of a mannequin’s hand. With some imagination the possibilities are endless. Not only is there a lot of fun to be had with a plastic hand but also a lot of word jokes can be made.

After more time spent on the ‘hand’ I started thinking about the importance of our hands and the creative, historic and cultural value they have. Just try to imagine the significance of our hands and what they mean to us. Or try to grasp they idea of not having hands, that humanity never had hands at all. What would the world look like today if we didn’t have them?
So having fun can make you think about the things we normally take for granted. I hope you appreciate your hands.

Bobbing Coffee Sculpture

This is abstract sculpture of a neurotic coffee addict. You can see how ridged ad jittery he is, even on this photograph

Chopstick Art

This composition of chopsticks is a reflection of the T-shirt, a reaction to acupuncture and it shows great contrast between death (the sticks) and life (the human body).

Boring Sculpture

This is an expression of a boring lecture. It’s creation was a great way to get my mind of things and the result really visualises what I was feeling that moment.
