A closer look at the work

A dark patinated hand hangs beside vertical folds of clothing. Two fingers approach one another around a small opening while the others point down. Blue sky provides an empty background and clarifies the contour. The close vertical crop excludes head and whole body, leaving gesture to determine the image.

Daibutsu Left Hand separates a detail from a larger figure. Finger spacing, the hand’s curve and its transition into fabric become particularly noticeable. The photograph does not fully explain the gesture but makes form its subject. An action appears in solid material: movement is suggested while the surface unmistakably retains the character of sculpture.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
