The document discusses creating a handscape using surrealist techniques. It suggests using your own hand and combining random objects to make a unique tonal drawing that captures unconscious thoughts and symbols. Surrealist artists were interested in dreams and altered states of consciousness, using techniques like automatic writing to express unconscious ideas. A handscape could apply these surrealist concepts to create a subjective and open to interpretation work of art.
