The Gloved Hands

Geoff Wood
2012

Description

At the three entrances to the Yards golden gloved hands point to the entrance.
The Yards is concentration of small shops can cafés in a network of interconnecting spaces, the so-called Yards. One of the historic industries was glove-making.
Further into the alleys, there are groups of smaller hands holding artefacts that indicate past and current uses of the premises, but we only saw three hands with vegetables in Theatre Yard.
