black hand lives on
By rickiApril 17th, 2008 <!-- by ricki -->
My totem project got me to looking at cast-off household items through
new eyes. Back when I had an art deco-ish black and silver bathroom, my
kids gave me this black ceramic hand, which attaches to the wall and
becomes a soap dish. I have gone through several bathrooms since then,
but could never bring myself to discard the hand, even though it broke
into several pieces in removing it from its original place of honor.
After careful gluing, it is still missing a finger…but the violets
cover any defects, and I love the rather macabre impression of a lost
soul reaching through a sea of violets to the light of day.
