In the studios: A narrative of hands - day 1

A narrative of hands is a study of hand gestures for Just Waves in Space.

Influenced heavily by the Vienna Secession / early expressionism movements as well as some obscure occult gestures..

Following a seasonally long absence from the studios; I decided to work solely on hands for a separate project, prior to diving into series 3 of Just Waves in Space. Within this series I intend to strip the work back and not utilise any props nor costumes, just hands...

I’ve also taken up researching and workshops on hand-made bespoke book binding with the intent to publish these seperately ahead of 'Just Waves in Space' as an anti-dote to its glacial pace.

On this night subzero temperatures froze my film and my Polaroid Specta chewed and half-ejected the films.  A newly established protocol emerged and seemed to work – giving the camera a friendly slap.

Strangely enjoyable. I love analog.
