I Am Moved to the Core by Things Made by Human Hands. By Crafts People of any Kind

Who Celebrate the Brain-Hand Connection.

These People Who Feel Something, and are Compelled to Follow the Spark that Comes

up from out of the Nervous System Through Their Fingers.

Uninterrupted Voices in Wood and Wire and Earth.

Weavers and Binders Fusing Their Gifts with Organic Materials

Giving Voice to Something Alive and Original.

Precious, Imperfect Statements of Being Alive.
