Description
In Katy’s mixed media painting, “The Hands that Shape,” an elderly Samburu woman is depicted in the quiet act of molding a clay bowl, her concentration evident in her serene expression. The viewer is drawn into the scene by her calm demeanour, as her weathered hands skillfully work the pliable clay, telling a silent story of tradition and craftsmanship. The textures and colours merge, capturing the rich cultural heritage and the timeless essence of her work. In this moment of stillness, the rhythm of her thoughts and the tranquillity of her spirit offer a glimpse into the intimate process of creation that the title aptly reflects.
