During COVID I drew my hands.  Or it would be more accurate to say I drew my left hand because I didn’t use a mirror and my right hand was doing the drawing.  When I made these drawings I saw creases in the skin of my hand and my arm that I didn’t remember seeing before. 

Drawing is a focused looking that gives me an opportunity to see what the glancing perceptions of ordinary life miss.  Not everything is pretty but everything is information.
