Hands Writing

A series of studies exploring the act of writing. With traditional writing, individual letters are created by following points along a path. Our hands move point by point to create letters. On keyboards, the letters themselves serve as the points. Our hands move along these points and create words. Further observations revealed that writing can be reduced to a sequential system of hand motions and mark making. This convention holds true whether writing with a pen, typing on a keyboard, or tapping keys on a mobile device.
