Intercession
"Reaching for God"A twice life-size hand. (It would fit nicely on a 12 ft tall person.)
This is a large version of the one I made in 2015
It feels like I'm reaching out toward God, trying to be like him but never quite making it.
A fast experiment to see if I could make a large hand with minimal armature. This is a twice life-size hand that would fit nicely on a 12 ft tall man.
The only support or armature is an aluminum rod through the arm. The fingers are self-supporting (because they're mostly vertical).
As I work in the studio sometimes time is a meaningless abstraction. Sometimes it feels like I've only spent minutes but in reality it has been hours. So... I'm pretty sure this took a couple hours to make; in reality, not my distorted state of ecstatic creativity.
