An extract from the Des Cript description, poet Annie Hayter describes George's gloves. Listen to the whole description in the Uncanny Gallery on Heads Bodies Legs website.
A person wearing glasses, and gloves made of found-glass shards which have been soldered together and shaped around delicate hands. They pose with their hands around their face, echoing a 1950s Vogue cover model. They stand outside in the sunlight against a wall of graffiti.
The model Francisco Zhan is modelling the work of the artist: George Cox.
Mending/ Mended by George Cox is part of Heads Bodies Legs Uncanny Waters series.
