Summary:

"Chenlu Hou and Chiara No: What the Hands Remember to Hear. A joint exhibition of two artists who use ceramic sculpture to explore storytelling and spirituality. Chenlu Hou's objects draw from her Chinese heritage, blending folklore, remembrance, and the layered experiences of diaspora and cultural hybridity. Chiara No creates chiming bells that personify idols, demons, and goddesses inspired by ancient, pagan, and Christian mythologies. Both artists make objects that suggest the potential for sound to invoke ceremony and shared histories across cultures and time. Together, Hou and No create a dialogue through clay and implied sound. Their works resonate with themes of transformation and cultural inheritance through reimagined storytelling. Their shared attention to material and mythology invites viewers into a space where living, ever-evolving storylines mirror our collective present"--The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum website, (viewed July 30, 2026) https://thealdrich.org/exhibitions/chenlu-hou-and-chiara-no
