U N D R E S S I N G the hand

... T H E   M A T E R I A L I T Y   O F   H E A V I N E S S ...

A hand that I made out of the collection ‘U N D R E S S I N G   T H E   B O D Y’ 

all of charlottes finger prints were left in the hand and as you can see from the image bellow the detail in which i was able to capture the hand before undressing it. 

latex may not have had a previous life like leather and there for there is not as much meaning behind giving the materiality of latex new life but there is no reason why we can give this previously non living thing new life. It is in giving life to the hand that creates a 'M O M E N T' where 'an I M P R I N T  is left by a M O T I O N' made by a  'H E A V Y   M O T I O N' as well as the long process of painting latex upon the hand.

 A  'M O M E N T'  is created through the 

'C O M P R E S S I O N'  of an object and in this case it is the human hand.

I find it partially beautiful how the hand sits when no longer being worn, some but not all of the shape is gone.
