Artist

Hand Clap

Hand Clap, is the moniker of Maya Borjesson, an Architect and visual/sound Artist.
Using synthesizers, spoken word, and field recordings, their compositions explore themes of connection, memory, nostalgia and grief.
This year Hand Clap embarked on a tour of Japan, supported Penelope Trappes in Sydney, and presented a body of visual and sound work at No Vacancy Gallery.
‘A Thread Beneath Our Skin’ traced the layered and intimate terrain of connection—between individuals, identities, and past and present selves- it was a practice of listening outward, as well as, to the quiet within.
