Finger Portrait is a portrayal of the human finger, in this case that of the late opera singer Robert Tear, enlarged and carved to include his unique whorls, creases and form, resulting in a poignant sculpture. It is both a personal memorial and suggestive of humankind’s ubiquitous impression on the world.
