"This day's experience, set in order, none of it left ragged or lying about, all of it gathered in like treasure and finished with, set aside." –Alice Munro, "What is Remembered"
On his new website, artist Jeffrey Meyer has sorted the collages in his online portfolio into a variety of different categories, including one called “Touching” that brings together a selection of works featuring one of his favourite motifs, the “big hand.” A few other big-hand compositions are included in other categories over there, but here, for your viewing enjoyment, are twelve additional variations that Jeffrey used to display on his old “goofbutton” site but hasn’t (yet) added to the mix on the new one:
