Description
“Cold Hands Warmed by Fireside Chat”
shows x-rays of the skeleton of hands warmed by the light and heat of the fire. The nighttime scene adds an ambience of charm . The art piece expresses a a relief after a trudge through the cold snowy night to find some light and warmth.
The hands hold the warm fire at a distance but seem tender in the way they cherish the comfort and the fire.
The X-rays are used to strip the flesh down to the bones and the warmth that emanates similarly penetrates to the bones.
The art piece has a surreal sense, since the x-rays are taken out of context and placed in front of a fire.
