‘Dumpling Diaspora’ is a metaphor for migration and memories, each dumpling is meticulously shaped, handled, packed; this really does relate to how clay remembers touch and handling. Secret ingredient is love! 13 #ConArtInSitu

I am really captivated by Ana María Hernando’s engaging titles. Particularly ‘at the hour of shipwreck and darkness, someone will rescue you’. They’re so narrative, especially for such abstract works. 12 #ConArtInSitu

Having just walked into the room with ‘the allies’, I feel like I’ve just walked into a story book. Where the wild things are meets the Lorax. 11 #ConArtInSitu

I am really drawn to “a prayer for the olive tree”. I really resonate with the practice of the hand embroidered edges being meditative and a thoughtful resonance with the material- a photo she took during a past season of life. 10 #ConArtInSitu

I just turned the corner around ‘waterfalls’ to find a bright pink radiating glow. So enticing! Exciting! Also somewhat eerie. 9 #ConArtInSitu

The use of texture in ‘rain full of moon’ relates to the texture of the tool in ‘waterfalls’. I like this parallel and the frill that both articulate when talking about joy and femininity. 8 #ConArtInSitu

‘Waterfalls’ feels encroaching. I both want to walk through and am nervous to. 7 #ConArtInSitu

‘Waterfalls’ by Hernando feels like an overflow and celebration of femininity and joy. There’s something all encompassing and almost intimidating about it too. 6 #ConArtInSitu

Engagement with art is one of the most important aspects of art imo. Whether engagement is apart of the concept of the piece or not, I think engagement and reactions to art is what makes art beautiful. #ConArtInSitu

Art can be a process as well as a physical object, I think there is so much art in the process of crafting and that can be observed from the outside. I think a main difference between fine art and a craft is the intent or concept. 4 #ConArtInSitu

A museum is a place that houses art or artifacts for a purpose. Sometimes that purpose is education, expression, monetary gain, critique on society. I think museums have taken on a snooty attitude and can be exclusive. #ConArtInSitu

What is art? Art is a reaction to life and the provocative nature of existence. #ConArtInSitu
