Hands

by Ditta Baron Hoeber

 

I have been thinking for months about making drawings. parts of my body. hands. feet. the rest. but not all
together. even my face. only parts…

•

photographs of hands, clothes, clothed parts of bodies (in motion), feet. parts close up. photographed parts
cut out and collaged onto drawings. paintings. drawings of hands.
•

what of you have I held fast?
in all of my drawings your hands look like your hands.
