THE HAND OF FATIMA
Ever since I was young, I’ve been drawn to the image of the hand with an eye in the palm.  I can trace my interest to the film, “the Golden Voyage of Sinbad” , filmed in Dynarama, where there was a woman with an eye tattooed on her hand.  After seeing the film, I actually drew eyes on my hands with magic markers for several weeks and if I could have gotten a tattoo, I totally would have.  What is this symbol that I was/am so smitten with?  It is called the Eye of Fatima, also known as the Hand of Miriam or the Chamsah. It is a symbol used to ward off the “evil eye”.   

In this class we are going to make sure no bad mumbo jumbo comes your way by creating a protective eye reliquary using a variety of found objects and the process of assemblage.   Get ready for a bit of civil-eye-zation…I know, I know…maybe we should be building reliquaries to ward off my bad puns.
