Hands.
acrylic on canvas · 2024
a study in gesture — how the body says what the mouth won't. queer hands holding, hovering, almost touching.
from $250paintings, on canvas, by hand.
the original studio practice. acrylic, ink, oil, paper, found material. queer figures, hands, smoke, gestures — worked into something you'd actually want to hang.
each piece is one-of-one. nothing is a print of itself. sizes range from small studies you can hold in two hands to wall-sized works built over months. price scales with the work, not the inventory.
eight paintings. five out for sale, three already in someone's home. scroll slow.
