Before

 

After

This is my first completed concentration piece. I do not love the idea behind it but that's because it related to my original concentration of "time." Now that my concentration is "gestures" I feel as though I have many more creative options. I like the form of the hand, the finger pointing to the wrist is still really bothering me, I just can't seem to get it right.

Artist statement:
Gestures have the capibility to "speak a thousand words." Body language can contain a message that is much more powerful than spoken words. I feel representing gestures in artwork is a great opportunity for an artist to convey his/her feelings and effectively express a point of view. I am intrigued by gestures because since art does not incorporate spoken words depicting them gives me the opportunity to express my opinions and feelings to the viewer even when I am not present.
