Dead Man’s Gauntlet, 2023

Pencil and gouache, 59 x 42 cm

I made this out of my continuing interest in objects that don’t work! Armor made for a dead hand with bones that don’t look like they ever connected to any other bones. I drew the idea roughly one day, and continuing to think about it went by the wallace collection to look at the gauntlets they have. The segmented finger design is based off the sketches I did from one.
