Hand Series by Clara Bolle
The Hand as a Portrait
I am my own life model. My hand is always there for me to draw, to sketch, to paint. My hand is who I am. I am my body. You can see life in our hands: life lines, scars, deviations, age, taste. Hands express our feelings: pointing a finger, waving, raising a fist. Our hands are portraits of every day life. Show me your hand and I’ll tell you the life you lived.
