PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Luis Varela’s large steel sculp­ture of the human hand, titled “Organic Study No. 1.”

The colossal, expressive, supi­nated hand is composed of irregular, cut shapes hanging at precise measurements within a large box frame.

The sculpture appears and dis­appears depending on the viewer’s positioning among the metal slices that make up the segmented hand.

Using his experience with CAD, machining and welding, the artist has created a piece born of elaborate planning and painstaking attention to detail.
