F. (All Thumbs) 1997

Al Taylor's "F. (All Thumbs)" from 1997 is a black and white photograph featuring a close-up of a thumb. The thumb is depicted in detail, with the nail featuring a crudely drawn constellation or geometric shape. The image has been manipulated by the artist with thick black lines that appear to be drawn on the surface of the photograph itself. This work of art explores themes of human anatomy, body modification, and the interplay between nature and human intervention. Taylor's photography often utilizes bold and direct imagery to evoke emotional responses and engage viewers in introspective contemplation.
