Stemming from my thesis research regarding craft as human heritage, I began this object investigation referencing the ideas of both hand work, and gestural communication. Current prototypes are made of soft black iron wire, depicting life-size abstracted images of hands, with the effect of 3D line-drawings. The visual impact of the hand has shifted since the effects of quarantine and social distancing. Regardless of my initial interpretation for the work, the current reading is unmistakably about human touch and the lack of contact; a temporary layer of interpretation, but nonetheless relevant.
