Handmade Type explores the relationships (and transformation) between upper-case and lower-case letters. The artist drew shapes with ink on her hands and used gestures to create capital letters. She achieves the transformation to lowercase solely through manipulation, gesture and perspective; there is no erasing or redrawing the original shapes. WOW.
