Zine: These Two Hands 2024

These Two Hands was never just about hands.

It was about people. The ones we pass in the supermarket aisle, wave to at the counter, nod at on the street. It was about noticing—really noticing—what someone holds, builds, carries, and lets go of, every single day.

Each pair of hands in this collection tells a story of effort, resilience, memory, and care. Some hands heal. Some create. Some lift. Some endure. Some hold the steering wheel through long nights or the scalpel with steady precision. Some make coffee, clean motel rooms, fix engines, stock shelves, write, sew, grow, build, hug, wave, mend.

These stories reminded me that we all live so much deeper than what we present on the surface. That everyone is carrying something rich and real. That connection often begins in the smallest moment—a conversation, a glance, a hand reaching out.

Audacity was a short-run but widely read digital magazine created by Kate in 2019/20 (the COVID-19 years) to share stories— real, grounded honest reflections of everyday life, challenge, and resilience.

The complete digital editions are below. For members with access, selected individual stories are also republished and tagged "Audacity" throughout the posts on the leading site.

The image above is the first magazine created by Kate. What followed was an evolution of learning and skill that eventuated in Issue 5 and the last of the magazines before the world re-opened and life became busy again.
