The hand, the fingers and the reversed glove
October 03 – November 08, 2025
Artcite Inc., Edith Jackson Gallery. Windsor
What began as a playful impulse to collect one object for each letter of the English alphabet has evolved into a deeper reflection on language, matter, presence, and the Cosmos. The use of found objects and their arrangement mirrors the structure of a sentence, where each letter functions as an atomistic unit. The work invites viewers to consider how meaning emerges in the mind as these elemental parts are brought into relation. The hand, the fingers and the reversed glove draws from a range of sources, including art-historical references, language games, and cosmological ideas.
From Artcite's website.
"There is one final work that bears mentioning in this exhibition, and it appears somewhat at odds with the other works on view. It is a small bar that suspends three sets of objects from three sets of red strings: a maraca, at the end of one; a group of marbles at the end of another; and the end of the final—well. A mysterious lumpen form, maybe rock, maybe rubber. Of all the items in Tamayo’s exhibition, this one feels magic, peculiar, even auratic. It is not a neutral stand-in for all others of its class."
