idle hands.jpg

another tough thought provoking challenge

when are hands ever idle...hardly ever....maybe after
death or after a stroke ???

idle? ..the expression probably comes from a time, when people could not
afford to ever have idle hands in order to survive...spinning, peeling, plucking, swatting,
feeding, wiping, mopping, chopping, slicing, stirring, sweeping, cutting....

hands are designed to be ever moving tools..picking,
grabbing, scratching, shoving, moving, stirring, petting, poking, stroking, signaling....
you know what your hands are able of doing....:)))

anyway... here my contribution portraing very idle, because nearly motionless hands... and then maybe not really idle hands....because they are symbolising symbols...:)))))))

Great work! It almost feels like if the white hand were stiff and
provokes my hands to move! Very interesting commentary! V!
