With Artist's Hand II, Niamh Barry once more shows her mastery in conveying beautiful forms of movement with polished bronze and LED. In this case the Irish artist, employing elements relatively new to her work (like a shifting gauge, which expands and contracts as the viewer's eye follows the piece from one end to the other), has manipulated space, metal, and light to embody a certain weightlessness and fluidity characteristic to a ribbon in the wind.
