Daniela Rivera’s Labored Landscapes

In the large gallery of Daniela Rivera's exhibition "Labored Landscapes (where hand meets ground)" we see three dark walls and a wood floor. Each wall has a single painting of a giant pair of hands; each pair of hands is gesticulating as in mid-conversation. The body to which the hand belong fades into the black canvas and the dark wall color.
