DONE
Thirty-fifth series: Rock, Paper, Scissors, non-editioned.
Rock, Paper Scissors is a game for two or more people played using the players' hands. The two players each make a fist with one hand and hold the other open, palm upward. Together, they tap their fists in their open palms once, twice, and on the third time form one of three items: a rock, a sheet of paper, or a pair of scissors. The winner of that round depends on the items formed. If the same item is formed, it's a tie. If a rock and scissors are formed, the rock wins, because a rock can smash scissors. If scissors and paper are formed, the scissors win, because scissors can cut paper. If paper and a rock are formed, the paper wins, because a sheet of paper can cover a rock.
These works consist of a 3 ½ x 2 inch poly bag or on a magnet sheet. Inside or on top are photographs of my hands in one of the gestures printed on either cardstock or fine white and colored papers. I have hand colored or embellished each of the images. At the top of the work is the statement “Your Name Here: _________ ." On verso is the seemetellme QR code, three photographs of hands, and the title and web-site address. This is a non- editioned series because it will be done in many medias and in many sizes. It will appear in variations and configurations: either singly for your own personal game against the world (pick your opponents wisely), in doubles as a mini-war, or in a triples as a statement by me of a political or societal statement. I will be placing these works all through the summer in New York city.
