THE HAND

Sarah's piece has been in the works for quite a while. As many artists can attest -- the creative flow can turn on and off with no warning. One day a particular project can be the most important thing imaginable -- the next day it's a forgotten thought. Sarah -- in line with the stereotypical artist -- gets bored quickly -- but managed to put together this cool creation.......

The Hand itself is formed from several different materials: Paper, a clay-type plaster, and glue -- then covered in linoleum shavings. The shavings are very pliable and actually squishy to the touch. The finger "nails" and the spear of glass in the palm give The Hand a tough, violent imagery -- in strange contrast to the soft, fun linoleum.
