ALPHABET OF GESTURES (DRAWINGS)
On-going project
Pen on paper
Each drawing 21x21cm. Installation dimensions vary.
Based on hand gestures collected from artworks, newspapers, magazines, tv and gesticulating people, this ever-increasing collection of sculptures of the artist’s left hand (Adrian is right-handed) records the language of gesture.
For Adrian sculpting hands is also a good exercise because they are sculpturally challenging and his own is always ready to model.
