Writing DEPTH...Handshapes CLOSE and FAR
In Movement Writing, we can use size of handshapes to show  
DEPTH...the larger hand symbol means closer to your chest and the  
smaller symbol means further away (closer to the Front Wall)...We do  
this in DanceWriting with legs and feet too... Size is a Movement  
Writing technique to show close and far for hand, legs and feet...The  
Small Variation for handshapes have never been entered into the IMWA,  
but they could be, just as we have the three Movement Arrow sizes  
right now...you would click on the Variations Key to get the smaller  
size handshape for FAR depth...
