The Seat

As part of my 'These Hands' series of paintings.

I'm on a mission to bring a hand to every home as a symbol of unity.

I started the work initially in response to what I felt was a very concerted top level effort to devalue human input and human endeavour. It angered and saddened me - for I love humanity at it's best. Ai a topic of concern, I sort to remind people of the power within our hands.

The power in the simple touch, a stroke. Our hands can resist or support - the great communicator.

From the first marks to every click, touch and swipe. A hand held, a hand raised, These Hands.
