Hand Made: The Art of the Hand

Hand Made: The Art of the Hand looks at the imagery of this ubiquitous appendage. By presenting this eclectic installation, viewers are encouraged to explore the question: what is it about the human hand that retains such fascination? Artists have frequently turned to this mundane subject because it is literally close at hand. Depictions ofthis subject, however, have taken on a variety of forms. From precise representational drawings and sketches to fantastical depictions, artists have explored the hand for different reasons and effects.
