This is the third piece in my Gesture series, a
series of works that use imagery of my own hands. I start with a
basic concept, one that by definition is concise and easily
understood. However, these concepts often are viewed differently by
each of us, as our experiences and point of view greatly affect our
interpretation and personal meaning of these ideas. From this simple
concept, I use the images of hands to build upon the idea and make it my
own.
Birth represents the creation of something from others. Just as
the two hands spring forth from the palm of the middle hand, so to does
that hand arise from the bottom hand.
My brother sees this piece as my rendition of the personal birth, or
rebirth more precisely, of my artwork. During my years in graduate
school I didn't devote much time to making art, however, it is now an
integral part of my life, and growing more and more.
