Tuesdays with Chris: “Hands”

“I feel, therefore I am.”

This is Chris’s astute take on René Descartes famous line “I think, therefore I am”, as he reflects on all the ways our hands express our selves.

I love the austere, but still warm, shooting of this one, and marvel at the ease with which Chris shares his thoughts, simultaneously simple, profound and accessible. Anyone who works with their hands will certainly appreciate what he has to say. Anyone who talks with their hands, and anyone with an understanding of body language will be nodding along.

(If you missed my introduction about Chris Staley, master potter, educator and Penn State Laureate 2012-2013, you can read that here.)  Enjoy!
