Handout

Handout began as a found object from which a mould was made. A multitude of hands have been cast since, each unique because the honey-locust thorn which pierces the palm, is always slightly different.

Aside from obvious allusions to stigmata and crowns of thorns, “Handout” is a poignant metaphor for sacrifice, suffering and existential pain.
