Open book spread titled “My Climbing Hand,” featuring illustrated rock climbers scaling a colorful mountain and text about touch and climbing.

My Climbing Hand. Commissioned to support Ollie Keyne’s Thesis: The Social Life of Rocks; an anthropological exploration of sensory experience and meaning in climbing.

For me, climbing offers a unique way to move my body. It gives a sense of exploration, freedom and feeling of accomplishment without having to strive for a correct answer. The illustration shows my approach to climbing, particularly my relationship with fear. It represents the tactility and physical act of problem solving, but also the metaphorical concept of ‘handling my fear’ to persevere.

The illustration has been made with gouache paints and natural inks, creating textures and marks, collaged together to show the variety of spaces where climbing is possible. It shows that wherever I am climbing, the process I go through, the highs and lows, are ultimately the same.
