“Telling by hand”

The hand is no mere instrument. It can tell stories through the manipulation of materials. They gain a “feel for them” and begin a rhythm through the repetition of gestural movements. This handling of tools and materials is not a mechanical kind but they are “set up through the continual sensory attunement, a gestural synergy of hands, tools and materials.”
