RMIT School of Art and School of Creative Media: Printmaking Summer Residency Exhibition 2007 - The Body: "Print and photography based artist Antonietta Covino- Beehre’s current work focuses on hands as a part of the body that relates to how we communicate and are identified. Hands assist in emphasis for oration or for the sign language of the hearing impaired. The interpretation of the movement and placement of the hand(s) has a long history in Art. Covino-Beehre’s imagery references this history while aligning it to contemporary cinematic motifs through the depiction of antiquity-style framing and photographic scanning. In this instance the notion of identity has a forensic relationship with romance". Richard Harding 2007
