Description

Gloves-Mission 2 depicts in photographic detail a worn working glove reflecting the work of a human who—as the title suggests—was on a rescue mission. Exposed to harsh conditions and a rough environment, the material appears to have been stressed to a breaking point; perhaps also indicating the wearer’s physical and mental state of exhaustion. The artist used plywood to create this print instead of a traditional woodblock, allowing him to achieve a larger print format.
