While spending time with my mum, I could not help but notice how much her hands look like that of her mothers. Looking at my own hands, I realise that they look so much like my mothers.  

‘Holding (time)’ is an amalgamation of the reflection of time, family chains and the textural quality of the human hand. This work is a multidisciplinary dissection of the way in which hands age and the textural quality that it available because of the ageing process. The use of ice and butter was a deliberate choice because of the time sensitive nature of both elements with a nod to the domestic realm. Within the video you see both the ice and the butter change form as they warm leaving the bronze elements as the primary focus. This allows the viewer to study the texture within the bronze, and within the butter and ice upon second (and third) viewing.
