Incredible! It is so refreshing to see well executed figurative sculpture!

Thanks for the compliment.
I agree that a figurative can be refreshing, but it's hard to get it exactly right and at the same time not getting lost in details.

interesting...is that a copy of your hand done directly on your hand?

Not directly or with any instrument.
Because itβs made at 2 x the original size of my hand, it was easy to take measurements in order to make a correct wire frame (armature).
On that wire frame I made the sculpture in waterbased clay.
I have to admit my hand isnβt that agile, the pose is a bit exaggerated.

I guess it has no meaning as such.
Is it necessary to have one?
