Hands and Solids
On this page I will show you the progression and development of Hands and Solids. It started with hands and platonic solids. And then I drew the Archimedean solids because Leonardo drew them. Then I made them soft digitally.
The Archimedean solids represent the ideal world, human perfection, our thoughts. The Archimedean solids are a visual map of what philosophers since the ancient times until now have been trying to reason about. They represent certainty. The hands on the other hand represent us, we are soft and most of the time we are not entirely sure.
A Christmas ornament I made of my Archimedean drawings. Here is a pdf with printable Archimedean Solids: https://www.mirenarhee.art/ornaments.pdf
A series of experiments I called “What Ornaments do when you are not around” on account of producing actual dangling ornaments from my drawings.

NYE confetti enters the picture. I spent NYE 2020 on Times Square and literally took a confetti bath. It was a memorable visual experience, one that I wanted to replicate in hands.
