Unfolding in Light cover

A collection of sixty-four black-and-white photographs and sixty-two poems, Unfolding in Light offers a vision of hands as images, symbols, and archetypes, allowing the numinous to shine through the mundane. Sisters Joan Scott and Claire Scott provides an intimate pause that gives the reader a quiet moment to reflect on the meaning of everyday hands: an ill child's hands; a dying woman's hands; hands of lovers, young and old; hands at work, at play, in pain, in prayer, and in love.

“It is always a joy to look through an extensive collection of photographs and see a very high standard set and adhered to . . . These pictures portray the enormous eloquence of the human hand. I was amazed at the range of emotional interaction that can be expressed in an image of a hand and the panoply of relationships that can be communicated . . . A most successful and worthy undertaking.” —Dick Bond, photographer and astrophysicist “Your images of the art work are wall hangers. They are wonderfully exposed and composed and well balanced in regards to white balance. Great job.” —Elliot Stern of Blue Ridge Photography
