There are 56 shapes arranged in a grid on the floor. Each object is the negative shape of my fist cast in plaster. The fingerprints are visible as are the palm lines. It is an autobiographical work showing a personal sculpting method. The smaller objects are the result of hard squeezes. The bigger objects are formed via relaxed pressure.
