Hand Museum

The Hand Museum all started as a fun sculpture collaboration project where we made sculptures of cultural hand gestures both universal and international. Almost Universal, Bollywood Dance, British Bam and American Gangster where made out of mod rock casts of our hands filled with plaster, in these topical and infamous shapes. 


I definitely feel that hand gestures are a fun and exciting way to which our world is developing and expressing itself. Particularly with today's popular culture of memes its kind of hard to miss and you almost feel compelled to sign before you smile! 

Part of the final display for the exhibition was a collection of 4 hands on podiums which spell F, U, C, K which are a tribute to traditional sign language, keeping the whole feel of the exhibition educational and playful yet silly and crude.
