My Pop's Hand

A single closed hand fills the frame, lit hard from the left so every crease, tendon and slackened knuckle is drawn in high relief. The skin reads almost like worked paper — a surface that has held tools, weight and decades — while the background falls away into pure black.

Behind the artwork

From the Pops series, a black-and-white photographic record of the artist's father in his final years. The hand is photographed the way one would photograph a monument.
