Provenance:
Private Collection, Toronto
Notes:
Canadian artist Greg Holman’s series of photographs entitled My Left Hand was exhibited in 1997 at the Carrier Gallery in Toronto and at the National Museum of Photography in Brescia, Italy. The series was originally shot on Polaroid negatives and then re-shot on a large format camera. Three enlargements were created from the 8 x 10 inch negative. Holman describes the work in this way, “The series was initially conceived through my inspiration to pursue three dimensional sculptural forms with photography. The ability to contort my hands was inherited from my great grandfather, a circus contortionist in Chicago. The twisted form seemed perfect for this sculptural exploration.”
