Tenera Manus: Opening Reception

Tenera Manus (Latin for “tender hand”) centers on repetitive, care-intensive

processes such as sewing, quilting, tufting, and diamond painting. Each artist uses slow,

methodical techniques to transform familiar materials and images into contemporary reflections

on memory, technology, and transformation. The works pulse with nostalgia, echoing the

textures of vintage textiles and the rhythms of handwork that hold both care and history.
