“Artisan”

What do an artist’s hands tell us? They speak of time weathered and fashioned by imagination and marks of strength from trials overcome.

Note in the web between my thumb and forefinger: a wedged cut from a slipped chisel stroke in my senior year of highschool while holding an item I was carving during an outside fire drill.

And more recently just above there is subtle bruising – likely from two days ago when I erected large chain link panels to prevent deer from gettimg into our front gardening yard.
