Through accumulation and repetition, HANDS 500 constructs an archive of shifting states, mapping the tension between control and loss, presence and absence, function and expression.

Creating an opportunity to engage with the thought of the transformation of our hands and passage of time, these paintings investigate the subtleties of gesture, control, and articulation, positioning the hand as a primary interface between the body and the external world.
Moving towards an enquiry into decline - exploring the thresholds of diminished ability, altered movement, and physical limitation, the gradual destabilisation of control is embedded within the visual language itself.
