The Hands Tell a Story
Potter's clay-covered hands at the rim of a jar on the wheel, Old Sturbridge Village.
Over the past several years I’ve had another running project focused (literally) on hands and the work they do. It was only natural that during my Rev250 project my eye would be drawn to reenactors’ hands performing 18th-century activities. These frames run from Lexington to Old Sturbridge Village and I’m sure there will be more in the weeks to come.
