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. 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.
Artists whose works are showcased include (Texas), (New York), (California/Mexico), (New York), (Mississippi), and (Wisconsin).
Open Hands: Crafting the Spiritual is organized for MOCRA by Ren茅 Paul Barilleaux, head of curatorial affairs at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio.
