Hands “A Catalogue of Life”

7” x 4” x 2”

Who has not be shocked by their aging hands? We can hide arms and legs with clothing. We can even do something about sagging chins and bulging waistlines. Hands cannot be hidden. During a recent show a little girl walked up to my table, stopped, and then whispered to her mother, “Did you see those ugly hands? Gross.” They left. Her mother glanced toward me and then came back toward the table. “I think you overheard my girl. Remember, she’s young. I actually like them. Even thought of buying them. They remind me of my father’s. They even make me think of the moments my little girl first wrapped her little hands around mine..” Hands remind us of many experiences. They catalogue life.
