A HAND AS A PAGE

Published by Boston Art Review

Gloves can be both functional and decorative—warming hands against the cold, protecting the body from industrial and medical danger, and representing one’s culture, and are printed with a glossary and diagrams of acupuncture points on the opisthenar and palm. When a glove is flipped over, a page is turned. The gloves also serve as a message tool while reading the glossary.
Editorial pages 64–71 are co-designed with Chuck Gonzales.
