Touching Me 2

The Touching Series explores ideas linked to touch by arranging paper hands in different ways, making sets of images, animations and video. The hands appear in different forms, at times invasive, touching on issues of exploitation, at other times loving, lively, alive, humorous or as expressions of desire, or again, as if pulling a person in every direction. This ongoing series reflects different expressions of touch and the many situations we find ourselves in.
