Sprouting Hands project


This project forms my solo exhibition "Individual Masses" from 6th July to 7th August 2023 at Lord Mayor Pavilion in Cork. I'm working for this project with Sample-Studios and 4 other venues in Cork City. I will exhibit several Sprouting Hands sculpture and make workshops to collect hands.

This work explores “emotions hands” growing in venues to get their happiness or sadness on their life. Hands are symbols of human in this work. Many hands blooming endlessly, gathering with others from the Pavilion to Cork City... Like Community blooming..






Thank you for Individual Masses!!!

Since I started this project 2 years ago, I was thinking about how my works will get closer / interact / share with you all. What is community for me? What is Art for community.

City Hall, Living Commons, City Library, Pavilion. Your hands were beautifully sprouting in the venues all together with you and your friends, family, and just shared the same project, that’s Sprouting Hands.

This project should be from me as an Individual artist who works alone. That means I can show how Individual is part of society and society is building up from them. That should be Balancing, Developing, Sharing, Respect. This project I hope will be blooming next to be part of your emotions!


Individual Masses.

Me as an individual artist, I couldn't have done without Masses of hands.
