A Study of Hands

By Edwin Bodney

A Study of Hands is an attempt to remove male intimacy from its sheath. It is an incision into Bodney's romantic relationships, and his evolving relationship with his father. It is the peeling of layers from experiences of love and abuse with men, and how that has translated into the ways Bodney communicates vulnerability.  It is a reconstruction of safety while navigating a revolution of identity, survival, and love all at once.
