"Open Hands: Crafting the Spiritual" assembles the work of six artists from across the country who use everyday materials, found objects, and elements of craft production to explore issues related to faith and spirituality, personal and cultural identity, and tradition and community:Jenelle Esparza (Texas)
Gabriel Garcia Roman (New York)
Beliz Iristay (California/Mexico)
Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt (New York)
Gwendolyn A. Magee (Mississippi)
Michael Velliquette (Wisconsin)
The exhibition includes artworks made from clay, fiber, fabric, photographs, paper, and ephemeral materials such as tin foil. The materials and techniques used reveal the close connections each artist has to the objects they make. Yet, the creative process transforms these highly personal expressions into artworks that speak to people of diverse backgrounds, inviting experiences of joy, connection, and community.
"Open Hands" is organized for MOCRA by René Paul Barilleaux, Head of Curatorial Affairs at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas,
The exhibition continues through May 19, 2024. More info: https://www.slu.edu/mocra/exhibitions/open-hands.php
