Tenendo per mano (holding hands) was the name of the exhibition of works by an icionic Italian artist Maria Lai. She started her career in the 1960s and she was active until she died in 2013.
The works included woven items, mixed media landscapes, sewn clothes, sewn books, looms and all sorts of variations of these media, themes and techniques.
The concept of hand of the artist is fascinating to us all - the intimacy of works created via the hands is immediate. That is why drawing is so appealing.
These works of Maria Lai were very personal, yet had a universal appeal.
One part, To Be is to Weave. Sewing and Mending included a large number of looms that had been altered
