About her work:

Pierbon presents three ceramic works, which have to do with the domestic world and with “making” in the strict sense of the term. "Creatura manina," which is part of a series, talks about the power of the hand to become other than itself, and somehow also to create other than itself, this hand becomes a being, a selfgenerating creature. "Grotto/Hand," is part of a series of three works all titled "Grotto/Hand," stemming from the thought of the hand as a place, as a space, as a protection that becomes architecture. "Handy/man," the least recent work, is a true tale about the ancestral power of hands as creators that in this case become flames, with a clear reference to the practice of clay firing. All three works are related to the theme of transformation and impermanence.
