Expressive Hands at The Creative Center: Casting HandsParticipants at The Creative Center have been exploring the language of hastas through movement and also through the making of plaster casts. We are using these modalities to reflect our personal connection to the natural world, deepen our understanding of both Bharatanatyam and the symbolic language of hands, while also engaging in a meditative and artistic exploration of nature’s forms and rhythms.
We started sketching our hands holding various hastas, cast these hastas with plaster, and then decorated these casts. Participants took these casts with them, one decided to put lights within the fingers of the cast and attach it to her wall as a self-sculpture. Images: Sketches and plaster casts of hands
