About “Pennsylvania Hands”
“Pennsylvania Hands” is
Sally Wiener Grotta's visual celebration of those individuals who keep
alive the traditional crafts that built our state's dynamically diverse culture
and established the underpinnings of our present-day society. In this ongoing
project, she is creating narrative portraits of people who use their hands in
traditional ways, making functional objects that are, today, typically done by
machines.
This exhibit of
“Pennsylvania Hands” and the related lecture are supported by a Pennsylvania
Partners in the Arts Grant from the Community Partnerships RC&D. The
project is also sponsored by Hewlett-Packard Workstations, HP Designjet
Printers, Pentax, Lexar Media, HP Designjet Printers, and smugmug.
