<br />Take
a moment to check it out on Indiegogo and also share it with your
friends. Get a hand made gift, make a contribution, or
simply follow updates. If we get enough support, we'll reach our funding goal<span class="notranslate"> and will help us buy quality materials
for building purposes, secure a good work space, and also help us
transport Hands to Black Rock city safely and efficiently.</span><br />

<br />
<b>For the love of Black Rock City....</b><br />
<br />
We are really excited that we were recently awarded with grant money to build an art installation for burning man this year. This
installation comes from the desire to build, create and give back to
Black Rock City, a city that has given so much to us over the years we
have attended. The installation called "hands" will be two wooden hands
12' high with palms raised to the sky designed by Dave Gertler.<br />
<br />
<b>About Hands </b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hands is a structural re-creation of human anatomy.
It is a symbol of our human nature to discover, create, and uphold. Our
hands are a primary means of self expression and are of particular
interest to our group since many of our livelihoods depend on creation.
Our hands are also a symbol of our personal journeys, survival and
creation throughout history. It is our goal to create an uplifting
sensation for participants through the structural pose of these
magnified hands and evoke interaction with them and one another.</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The position of two hands facing each other in a
lotus-like pose mirrors the symmetry of our bodies. This installation
could have been one hand, but so often one hand held upright generally
signifies rebellion, defiance, or some other harsh action. At the very
least, seeing one hand so pronounced may beg the question, where is the
other hand? Two hands represents some of the basic principles of Black Rock City,
suggesting togetherness, teamwork, unity and the act of giving and
receiving.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The concept of organic human anatomy becomes evident
through a structure of artificial geometry, made of a square grid of
wood panels to form human hands. Sensation is evident in pulses of
light which are intrinsic and alien at the same time. The cupping of
the hands facing one another further encourages the feeling of
togetherness and places an emphasis on the act of holding or offering.
The artificial elements of construction come to show that our desires
and possessions are beyond our nature and yet embody who we are.<br />

We are reaching out to friends, family
and acquaintances that might be interested in getting involved with our
project or are just interested in what we are doing to in San Francisco.
Over the next 6 months we will be finalizing the design, building,
lighting and fundraising for our project. We will need help with
building, lighting, wiring and would love any creative fundraising
ideas. As we start building we will have at least one large group work
day a month as well as many smaller group meetings during the rest of
the month. Once we set dates for our fundraisers we would love to
see all of your smiling faces supporting, collaborating, and partying with us well we
undergo this new endeavor. </div>
