Viera-Gallo, Manuela
Manuela Viera-Gallo’s tightly bound and precariously hanging broken dishes are at once bodily and ghostly, evoking the troubling and pervasive reality of domestic violence. The fragments of porcelain and ceramic—once sophisticated home décor—are transformed into weapons charting the global and local existence of women’s oppression and abuse. Thick cotton ropes and tightly executed knots compound the visceral sensation of aggression.
