Wallis Bird : HandsThe front cover of Irish born, Berlin based Wallis Bird's 2022 album features a black and white photograph of the artist's hand. Bird states simply: 'At 18 months old I fell under a lawnmower and cut all my fingers off'. 'Hands' also known as 'Nine and a Half Songs For Nine and a Half Fingers' finds Bird turning the spotlight onto herself, raising issues that are sometimes far harder to confront, only to emerge optimistic and whole.
