ART FROM HERE
This is an accumulative project I have been working on for a few years now but due to the social nature of it, it has been halted by COVID-19. I am collecting photographs, using an instant camera, of the right arms of various people from all across the country. I am currently at around 50 photos of a planned 200. These are photos of friends, artists, recording engineers, musicians, photographers, writers, business owners. People I respect and admire.
Arms because: I am unsure at this point. To me, it's nice to see arms highlighted. The arms we work with and hold with and love and create with.
The right arm because: it started with a photo of a right arm
200 photos because: 200 sounds like a good number
