HUMAN HANDS
Hands nurture, create, hold and heal - they can also harm and destroy.
Through this year’s theme we will look at the creativity of human hands, the wonder of human endeavour and the potential to heal and nurture that which is precious, in place of destruction and greed.
ICONS by Hanna-Leena Ward
30 January – 19 February
