Kinetic Hand Sculpture

Having researched a lot of Stan Winston's work on film creatures and animatronics, I felt inspired to create something of my own, something I could touch and hold, a 2D piece that could move, a kinetic sculpture. I decided to create a human hand, something we are all familiar with and something that would have several points of articulation. I created my model hand from card, tape and wires. It could be puppeteer-ed and be able to move its fingers with the slight pull of the cords, acting like tendons, which traveled through the wrist.
