Chakaia Booker

I keep coming back to my hands: they are my outlet. My hands take my ideas, emotions, inspirations and turn them into a physical reality I can share. I have to touch to know. Our hands are what we use to quite literally hold on and to let go. They embrace; they fight; they welcome; they create. My hands are what I need most to live creatively.
