By Gary Price
Gary Price, represented by the Legacy Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona, has created a hand sculpture standing five feet tall that is both energetic and powerful.

The artist feels that this piece is the culmination of his entire career as a sculptor. To him it is an icon, embracing all aspects of human relationships and their goodness.

The artist states that a talented friend of his once wrote, "If I can lift you today, you will look back and grab the hands of a thousand more."
