Description: This regrouping of works from a larger installation consists of four components: two large aluminum utility hooks each hold velvet cloth printed with images of hands holding or touching natural elements--flowers, rocks, tree branches. A long macrame-like form falls from the ceiling and floats just above the surface of a stacked stone-like form. Vintage postcard Images of children and women feeding baby animals are glitched and distorted, acting like weights or psychic anchors.
