HAND ME: MY HANDS; MY ART; ME

 Where there is art; there

are hands behind the deed scene

never forget that

raw rangy ugly 

unkempt plant tresses waiting

for disciplined love

Grown neat or not we
must caress pick pull divide
 genius from the shaft

Lend me a hand so

I can show you how it feels

to freeze them so cold

Paper, Places and Faces

Washi
~traditional handmade Japanese paper 


~ Kozo, Gampi, Mutsumata

    

Washi warm, full bodied, strong, softly translucent, low acid~just like wine

Washi water flow
touch my hand before you go
the light has arrived
