The brain in our hands – Ann-Marie Anderson-Mayes
For years, people saw Ann-Marie as either the physics nerd or the maker, never both.
She took the expected path first: a PhD, geophysics, editing a science magazine. Then stitching, the thing that had always kept her grounded, pulled her into a creative business that now takes her teaching around the world.
Fresh off the plane from Australia, she shares the emerging science of neuroaesthetics and the knowledge that lives in our hands, which our heads so often overlook.
Expect tingly fingers, and a gentle nudge to pick up whatever you used to love making.
“It’s a slow way of thinking, but it’s a rich way of thinking. And I think it’s a really beautiful counterbalance to the world that we live in.”
