Abney hand

Discussion of Abney Park reminded me that I made a piece about the place. I walked around the cemetery and for no clear reason transcribed brief texts from the gravestones onto my hand using a fibre-tip pen. On returning home I scanned my hand, washed the writing away and then rescanned the hand. Using Photoshop and After Effects I created an extremely slow cross-fade (c. 15 mins) between the two images. Abney Hand was the result, a couple of the stills are above, the second is linked to a slightly larger version.
