I am working on giant hand paintings, I am sure no one I know does it so I must do it / by Mirena Rhee

A sketch, laying down the disegno and the space where these hands operate. Using blue acrylic paint that i have a lot of, to sketch, acrylic paint is terrible but excellent for sketching. It dries fast and doesn’t smell.

I have been interested in the surface of the hands but now I look inside and discover all kinds of things behind the skin.

It’s like the hands are being turned inside out - as if the hands - with the skin gone - become a door to unknown destination.

I feel like a detective, what is beyond the (skin of ) the hand?

Peeling hands, folded hands, hands landscape, hand tectonics. Peeling the hand is like peeling an orange towards unknown destination. It's going to be called the disintegration of the hands, the peeling of the hands.

The third dimension or the dimensions are spilling on the one side of the painting.

The Peeling of the Hands, discovery of the space of the hands, rejecting elements that don.t work. Beacuse this is not a flying hands painting.
