Working Hands: An Exhibition of Photographs by Rick Williams

Photographer Rick Williams has captured images of workers and work places in three diverse industries that constitute the three pillars of the Texas economy: ranching, oil, and technology. Working Hands: An Exhibition of Photographs by Rick Williams features forty finely detailed photographs that evoke a powerful sense of what it must feel like to engage in the work depicted, as well as the unique character each industry brings to the Texas landscape. Panel topics include:

• Equipment
• Starting the day
• Workplaces
• Occupational signals
• Consultations
• Trouble-shooting
• Teamwork
• Working alone
• Relaxation

Working Hands is an exhibition organized by Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
