Description

A stoneware clay hand made from a cast (of my hand) scattering tree seeds. The future may or may not lie in the seeds we plant today. It’s about trying.

It took a bit of an effort to make a cast of my own mitt – with no help and no idea what I would do with it once the stoneware hand was fired. It looked creepy, as only a severed hand can.

However, on stumbling around the theme of Hope, for an exhibition, I asked my friend Ippy what hope symbolised for her and she said that seeds came to mind. And then the hand came into its own.
