In our homes, there is a passing. The passage of joys and fears, time and traditions, and of food at our tables. These ideals pass through hands, that bare stories and wisdom, which we hope to retain when we are old enough to understand. When our own hands have developed enough character to take what is useful to them, and let go of what no longer serves them.
handheld handmade handoff is an exhibition that weighs the idea of preservation through the passing on of knowledge, physical objects, and time. Ashley Culver, Gabrielle Trach and Lesia Miga contemplate these legacies through the lens of childhood kitchens, clothes lines and family archives.
