Pop's Hands, Clasped

Two hands fold into one another in the centre of a black field, rendered with a heavy painterly relief that lifts every tendon, nail and fold into sculpture. Light gathers only on the knuckles; everything beyond the gesture is dropped into shadow.

Behind the artwork

From the Pops series, worked to the edge of drawing — the photograph's contours pushed until the hands read as carved rather than caught.
