Culture & Context
Human forms are part of the empirical material (data) for my doctoral thesis, ‘Grip to get a grip of form. Concrete and abstract comprehension of form’ (2020).
Process & Production
The left hand grip into the soft clay is the starting point for the modeling process. As two variables for exploring the ‘Human hand-forms, I keep the grip upwards or downwards. Two other variables are using my thumb or the three middle fingers of the right hand for modelling the hollow form.
