The sculpture was created by Susan Akers, a student at the college. The design was adapted from an image produced from San Andres Tuxla in the southern Vera Cruz area of Mexico. The design was incorporated into the Hudson Museum logo as a symbol of the importance of the human
hand
in adaptation, survival, and creativity.
