Gestures
2022. Glazed ceramic. Sizes vary.
My first Gestures Installation, shown January 2023 at Adjacent to Life Gallery in New York City, is composed of 81 unique ceramic “gestures,” which show variations on closing, opening, and contorting our physical and emotional bodies. The Covid era was marked by unpredictable closures and openings that forced many of us into awkward shapes and configurations – often caught between acceptance and denial, surrender and grip. While the pandemic certainly dramatized these motions, the gestures featured here speak not only to a specific time period, but to the ongoing cycles and undulations of our lives — of curling and unfurling, constricting and releasing, and shapes we become in between.
