TITLE: Icy Fingers

I came up with this idea during the pandemic lockdown. With few opportunities to venture far from home I set about thinking what I could photograph inside my house Having opened a box of household rubber gloves to wear while cleaning the fridge I wondered if I could successfully fill a pair with water and freeze them. I set about the project and filled each glove with water and knotted the wrist opening. I placed them in the freezer and balanced them in an upright position. Once they were frozen I was able to peel the glove away from the 'icy fingers' and then by balancing each of them in a glass bowl took the photograph. I used a plain black background and a little side lighting and converted the image to Black & White.
