Thematic/contextual information
Handle, a sculptural installation made from handrail tubing manufactured for public transport across the UK. Inspired by the changes brought by the pandemic, specifically in terms of how touching surfaces are now put under scrutiny, the artist emphasises the form’s tactile nature by a velvet material.
