The Weights of Choice

2024, Plaster and Epoxy, 4" X 6" X 4" each (comprising 7 individual elements)

A sculpture from the "Weights of Choice" series by Keith Francis (2024), rendered in plaster and epoxy. The piece, emerging from a neutral, light-grey void background, is a lifelike white plaster casting of two adult hands joined together. The hands form a perfect, cupped bowl, fingers slightly curved. Resting in the center of the cupped palms is a large, matte-finish crimson red apple. The apple is positioned so the recessed stem area is visible at the top. The sculpture uses the Select-Color technique, where the hands are monochromatic white and grey, and the apple is the only saturated color element. It is one of seven works in the series, standing alongside bullet, key, compass, chain, steel ball, and dice sculptures to conceptualize human agency and the weight of moral choice.
