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.
