kung-pao
the other day when i was shooting that self-portrait of the back of my head i took few other photos of my hands, one of which was this fist photo. the human hand is endlessly fascinating to me in its complexity and versatility. i think its part of why i love climbing so much. sometimes when i'm bored i'll catch myself just staring at my hands or making these strange little motions that i'm amazed they're capable of. some interesting facts about hands here. this is fascinating:
"We work our fingers by remote control. Of course, in one sense, we work all of our moving body parts by remote control - the control center is our brain. However, the fingers are special, because there are no muscles inside the fingers. The muscles which bend the finger joints are located in the palm and up in the mid forearm, and are connected to the finger bones by tendons, which pull on and move the fingers like the strings of a marionette. "

Posted by: Nick at July 9, 2004 10:20 AMWhen I've had space in my life to draw, my own left hand has been a favorite subject -- experience often the same fascination, & wish to render as an image, you're talking about. Nice material!

Posted by: bill corlus at July 11, 2004 04:25 PMAndy I love artwork of any kind dealing with the hand. The complexity of movement is enthralling. I once did about twenty or so mixed media works based on my hand.
