From the curators<\/h2>\n

“My Body In My Hands curated by artists Sam Lucas and Nick Grellier is an exhibition of images from their call out on instagram to post an image of a piece of work held in the hand. The works are a materially and conceptually wide ongoing response to the hashtags #mybodyinmyhands and #exploringtheneurodiversebody and are posted on instagram under the profile @theweightofbeing.<\/p>\n

The core premise is to interpret how it feels to be (with)in the body and most artists have included a piece of text with their work. The exhibition is democratic and non-hierarchical – anyone can have their work in the exhibition alongside the \u2018gallery\u2019 on instagram and there will be a selection of physical works the gallery (nb artists do not need to identify as neurodiverse to be included in the project).”<\/p>\n

\"ThreeAbout Old Hand<\/em><\/h2>\n

Old Hand<\/em> is shown above on the left. I have made several of these three fingered hands, mainly at small scale and as a way of experimenting with styles of making. The three fingers are not particularly symbolic or representative of pixies or other mythology. I like to make them this way because they are clearly fictional, clearly made up rather than realistic. It’s interesting to me how realistic and evocative they turn out to be despite being anatomically incorrect.<\/p>\n

This piece shows an energetic hand that wants to grasp something. It’s carved with lines all over the surface as if it has some purpose as a ritual object, as if it has symbolic presence or weight for its maker or users.<\/p>\n

Size: Old Hand<\/em> (left) 8cm h standing upright<\/p>\n
