'Poetics of the handmade' presents the work of eight Latin American artists engaged in the timeless practice of making art by hand. Making use of common objects to create a sense of familiarity for the viewer, these artists' interest in transformation and process has led them to make works that are painstakingly handcrafted from a wide range of materials. They find poetry in the depiction of ordinary objects and powerful resonance in small actions.
