A print of a drawing of my left hand. I have discussed on a previous blog (what, should I copy/paste??) about my left hand (it’s near to me and easily accessible, always available) and about hammers. I won’t go into all that again. Suffice it to say that I consider this to be something of a self portrait. In that a leaf recapitulates the form of a branch and a branch is like a tree trunk with it’s branches and the whole visible tree has the form of the unseen part of the tree, the roots. In that same way, everything you could want to know about me, can be known by just looking at the hand.
And the hammer? Well, ever since man got tired of pounding tent pegs into the ground with his bare hands, a tool has always been cool.
