Hand-made

Hand-made is a collaborative art duo whose practice explores the intersections of craft, labor, and the intimate connections between maker and material. Drawing inspiration from traditional techniques and the stories embedded in handcrafted objects, Hand-made fuses contemporary sensibilities with age-old processes, resulting in works that are at once familiar and refreshingly original. Their multidisciplinary approach encompasses sculpture, textiles, installations, and participatory projects, foregrounding tactile experience and the human touch in an age of increasing automation.

Balancing humor and sincerity, Hand-made’s work invites viewers to reflect on the value of the handmade in contemporary culture, raising questions about authenticity, community, and the narratives we weave through what we create. Based between urban and rural studios, the duo has exhibited nationally and internationally, earning recognition for their thoughtful engagement with materials and their ability to foster connection through craft.
