An installation drawn from Maurice Harron’s iconic public sculpture Hands across the Divide, symbolising the division between Catholic and Protestant in the doubly named City of Derry~Londonderry in Northern Ireland.

The Shake reflects on the hands of the monument’s two figures; frozen in an unfinished reconciliation, almost meeting, but never truly joining. There exists between them an eternal gap. The four-part installation creates a literal bridge between the two hands, two communities, histories and ideologies.

In Frenemy, the three dimensional monument has been turned into a two dimensional print within the format of an advertising column outside the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt am Main. As displayed here, the division between two existing groups could be seen as an adaptive behavior; their hands eternally almost touching, yet their backs always turned to each other.
