I've been working on this for so long, I feel I need to take a break, to regain a fresh perspective. I thought I'd post it and get your critiques as well, which would be ever so helpful. It needs to be seen at its full size, 25"x 25", but for now, this will have to do (I've tried to show close-up views below).
This is a two part series, Inside and Outside. I used the inside of the hand in this part of the series, because it is the the part that grips and manipulates and carries out the commands of the mind, heart, and soul. With the unique lines, fingerprints, crevices, and calluses, I hoped to create a representational map of the individual.
I've started with my own hand print.

I love it!!! Especially since we're been hearing so much about human biometrics characteristics lately
Ooh! If you click on it, you can see it much larger.
Alina-I like it a lot, it's very intriguing.
But I'm really not sure if I'm "getting it" with the inside theme. It's really interesting to look at...I just keep thinking of an abstract of a moth, and if I look at it a different way, I see a lion...
It reminds me of this book, "scary stories to tell in the dark" I read when I was a kid - the illustrations by Stephen Gammell were very haunting and I loved them. I don't know if haunting was what you were going for... but if so, I got it.
hey, this is really cool. i also remember stories to tell in the dark... there is some simularity. hmm. but yeah, keep it coming!!
ALINA, ALINA ALINA.... time for a solo exhibition.
