The Hand Series was created for the "Blackout" exhibit in 2000. Please view the Virtual Reality panoramic photos of this exhibit. After the exhibit, one of the pieces was published in an undergraduate literary and arts magazine.

This series was a reaction to comments that a photograph and a digital image is missing the artists' hand, thus making it less impressive. I decided to create photographs using only the hand as a subject matter, and enlarging these images to 40" x 60." The result was larger than life silver gelatin prints of hands. Each piece took a personality. The anger that motivated the creation of theses images was reflected in many of the images such as 'Agitated" and "Piercing." Other images explored the personality of the hand characters I created. This was portrayed in images such as "Dissolving Cloth" and "Initial Reaction." Many of these images were a part of an exhibition named "Blackout" in 2000. This exhibition was in collaboration with Jenny Price and her subculture photography. "Nonchalant" was published in Canvas 2001, an undergraduate literary and arts magazine in the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
