"Hand of Good, Hand of God" is one of my earliest pieces. It followed on from my series of "Odd Gloves".   It plays with mathematics and pattern writing. The large glove being a multiplication of the number of stitches and rows in a regular knitted glove, the smaller being a division. The large glove is 3 1/2 larger than a regular glove, the smaller is 1/4 smaller. I have made this piece as large as I could without having to seam pieces together. My aim is to make a much bigger piece (possibly to be called "A Bigger and Better God") with more "layers" of gloves. This could either be done by seaming pieces together or by the use of large, industrial machinery which I have begun to use in the production of my large scale work, "Anyway" 2002.
