105 Artists' Hands: Touch Tell Create

Subject

Portraiture

Description

105 photographs of artists' hands. Hands are as expressive and as individual as faces, and are essential tools of almost all artists. Cally Trench met up with a diverse selection of artists at their studio or house, or at an exhibition or other event, and photographed their hands - sometimes one hand, sometimes both, usually in consultation with the artist about poses, props and backgrounds. The artists were all invited to write a short piece about their hands, lives and work, and these are printed under the photograph of their hands, creating a kind of dialogue between the artist and the photographer. The book also contains approximately 30 stand-alone hands-related pieces - essays, poems, stories, and visual projects by some of the artists photographed.
