Week 48: The Head
The head is the command center of the body, home to all of the five senses. It also has a unique shape that forces us to have different strategies when it comes to tying. The head requires some special attention when tying as injuries or marks can have a dramatic impact. Because of its sensitive nature, the psychological impact can be much more intense than any other part of the body.
The goal of this week is to experiment with the different sensations of the head and find strategies to tie its unique shape.
