'Hands' A Sense of Place

'Hands' A Sense of Place <---- Please click this link to watch the video. It will take you to 'Youtube'.


Hands are an extremely unique part of the human body. They are different shapes, sizes, colours, textures and can even tell another person how well you may take care of yourself, your occupation or even whether your are married or not. Hands are the chief organs for physically manipulating the environment and are often taken for granted. It is only when we have something such as a small cut, a medical condition or even an unfortunate loss of a finger can we then realise how much we depend on our hands to carry out simple tasks.

I have put together a collection of photographs of people’s hands from the parish of St. Marys and St. Nicolas to show the subtle differences between every pair of hands. 

Thank you to everyone who helped me with this project;
