Isaac Hastings – Hands Drawing Hands
“I have always been very inspired by hands. With this piece, I tried to capture how useful and expressive they are.” – Isaac Hastings Website: IHsquared.com Located between Plum Alley and Kayo Gallery, off of 300 South, between State Street and 200 East. Celebration of the Hand was started by The Temporary Museum of Permanent Change and Craft Lake City […]
Michelle Christensen – Dominoe Dog
“I once dreamt of a 9 ft. long dog who had puppies, and I was about to buy one, but then I realized how inconvenient it would have been to have one every time I’d have to move. I decided to paint this for Celebration of the Hand because I felt it was a unique […]
Annika DiMeo – Salty Schism
“Interactive piece encouraging passersby to be photographed inside the open circle. The piece represents the extremities of this city, which is defined by our weather and personal beliefs. Scrap metal used includes copper, brass and aluminum.” – Annika DiMeo Website: annikaquinn.com Located between West Temple and 300 South, in-between the old Zephyr Building and Sicilia […]
Jorge Arellano – Love Is In Your Hands
“22-layer stencil graffiti, painted on wood recycled from old pallets and crates. Weather becomes the final element that adds the finishing touch to this piece. This piece projects how hands can become instruments to translate and express emotions and feelings.” – Jorge Arellano Website: stenciljam.wordpress.com Located between West Temple and 300 South, in-between the old […]
Eleanor Scholz – Handscapes
“Handscapes reflects on the hand’s (therefore man’s) ability to create, construct, and control our mental and physical environments, along with the creative, mental, and physical power inherent in the use of our hands. By placing the handscapes amidst the construction and development of downtown Salt Lake City, the artist hopes to allude to man’s incredible […]
Rachelle Smith – A Technicolor Sunset
“A celebration of color and form, this piece is made of approximately sixty individual crocheted pieces that were all sewn directly to the frame. Crochet is a craft that is entirely handmade, as machines cannot replicate the stitches. Over 40,000 crochet stitches make up this touchable piece of art.” – Rachelle Smith Website: facebook.com/yayhookdcrochet Located near […]
Carri Wakefield – Bend and Shape
“My first notion, when I thought about filling a Plakat was to catch your eye with simple symbols and imagery. Pieced together with hand-painted, hand-cut pieces of galvanized steel sheet metal, hundreds of nails, and many yards of copper wire, it interacts with the daylight, to bring out its shine and metallic glow. This piece […]
Candace Jean – Harriet the Handcrafter
“My piece, in celebrating the hand, uses gently underlying propaganda tones to depict different hands holding either a finished handmade product or a tool used to craft handmade wares. It is meant to be a lively, high-energy piece with an impressionistic twist and bold, vibrant color to capture attention and hopefully instil an urge to […]
Nic Annette Miller – Identity & Placement
“To me, Celebration of the Hand can be interpreted deeper than what we can create, but who we are and where we come from. Topographical maps also look like numerous fingerprints, especially in the Wasatch Front. My home is within the Ogden and Salt Lake Valleys, where mountains are always to the east. I’ve become […]
Anglea Flicker – What’s Your Angle?
“When I first heard about The Temporary Museum of Permanent Change, I knew I wanted my piece to not only interact with the public aesthetically, but also in a physical sense. I wanted it to be touched, thought about, manipulated, and revisited in a respectful way. And so, my piece is basically a modern interactive […]
