OCOLOY Day 344: Handiwork

This is an art installation at La Gacilly where we spent some time today. There are a number of plaster hands holding a cord attached to an egg: as the weather erodes the plaster, the sculpture reacts dynamically - it's purpose is to demonstrate the interdependence of man and his environment. I liked it at the beginning of its artistic career!

As usual, the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.

Only one way to view this ;-))

I like how the dof and composition does just enough to hint at the series.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Excellent composition, as always. A little creepy, in a way....

[Joan Robillard]

Fascinating concept.

[Tom]

Wonderful focus

[Kathy]

Spot on focus. It's a shame to go to that trouble to have it be destroyed.

Great focus, dof

[Jane Pittenger]

Aweome

I find this very unnerving (in a good way). Strong composition.

[Margo Sayer]

Most impwessive! This was/is a most interesting sculpture, not least as each hand...sometimes the left, others the right...holds the thread in a different way. It's ingenious. It made me think about doing some *more hand selfies. We'll see?!

*First effort was IMG_3287.JPG

I like the way the hand is isolated by light and dof. Still found myself trying to work out the background though.

[Issi Bannerman]

Very interesting concept and a lovely image.

[Barb]

interesting concept - it's a little unsettling which is a good thing. It's a shot that certainly evokes a response!

[Sally Ings]

Quite a poignant capture.

Changeable and evolving art- cool concept and great dof.
