Private View Thur 11 July 2013 6pm – 8.30pm Show runs 11 – 20 July 2013 Open Hours Thur – Sat, 12 – 7pm Susana Carne I started making hands as I was thinking about the importance of the hand in art making. I was reading The Art of Encounter by artist Lee Ufan, and found deep inspiration in his words. One hand took me then to another hand, and so on. Eventually, lots of hands made a land of hands, that is a Handland, the world of the thinking hand. “For the artist the hand is connected to many parts of the outside world, including the brush, the paint, the canvas, the air, time and space. It is an intermediary that provides experience of the world, produces thought, and leads me into an unknown otherness. Also the hand of the artist performs the role of creating physical intermediaries (artworks) in the interval between the world and the self” Lee Ufan. The Art of Encounter.
