HANDS THAT SPEAK
The "Hands that Speak" project evolved from an ongoing dialogue I have maintained with ONORA. My ceramic
and artistic proposal for Onora is based on my body of work known to me as contextual ceramics. The objective
of “Hands that Speak” is to bring to light the importance and weight of the daily unpaid work and chores of women
potters as well as the labor of those people indirectly associated with the trade. In sum, without our hands that speak the
language of sowing seeds, harvesting crops, preparing food and raising our children, there would be no place nor table with
whom to share our food or conversation or anyone to listen to…
