Details
This new exhibition by Maria Molteni creates a cycle of beats on the fingers and illustrates a childhood shortcut for praying the Rosary when beads have gone missing. The artist has returned to the modular, rhythmic orb-based practice of prayer, which transcends boundaries of faith and constructs of time. Molteni has created drawings of their hands, positioned to hold each of 50 stones they collected over many years and walks around the world. The hands are depicted in cradled positions that accommodate each stone’s weight and contour. Five decades of colored fingers count the 50 “Hail Mary” prayers that complete a Rosary loop. This exhibition will include a number of references to her mural in San Luis Obispo, Seven Sisters (Celestial Subduction).
