Hand Sculpture

Artist Statement: In this assignment we were asked to dip our hands into plaster to create a mold of our hands in which we had to scrape until it was smooth and not so rugged. While the mold was being created we had to brainstorm things that we could make the hand into. I wanted mine to be coming out of the wall itself so i decided to put rocks and leaves at the base of the hand to represent overcoming hardships. i then painted the hand layer upon layer trying to get the detail just right. i struggled with the scratching of the hand but everything else was very enjoyable.
