Blue Thumb
2015, printed 2017

Four hands are shown against a backdrop of greenery, with two hands holding a pair of blue-handled scissors cutting the stem of a plant, while the other two hands hold the plant steady. The focus is on the action of cutting the plant, which appears to be a green, budding flower or vegetable.
