1–3 Angel Hands

 

 

 
Jake Lever
I approach my practice as a contemplative activity. My images are often derived from
fragments of medieval paintings, frescoes and icons. Recently the hand has provided
a focus for my work, a framework for the exploration of frailty, vulnerability and the
presence of the divine.

My work is created using an intaglio printmaking technique. Plates are made in a very
physical way, scoring and cutting into the surfaces. Gold leaf is often applied to the
paper prior to printing, making each piece unique. I think of these works as
contemporary icons, points of stillness amidst a fast turning world.
