I started this series with the idea that I had a visual library full of different hand images. When I think of hand gestures the first image that comes to mind is my father’s outstretched hands, conducting an imaginary orchestra. This captures the essence of my dad. The next group of hands is beyond the 1990s time period. They belong to my mom, brother Mike and me during our last visit. The rest of the sketches are my brother Mike’s hands. He had a number of interesting idiosyncratic gestures.
