Ex Nihilo is pleased to present My Mother’s Closest Friend’s Hands. New work by Ruth Lauer Manenti (New York).

“When my mother died a patch of sunlight was on her hand, a hand I loved yet have few pictures of. Now I photograph the hands of June, who had been her closest friend and was reading poetry aloud to her at the end. People look at the pictures and say, ‘Your mother has beautiful hands’ and I feel no need to say otherwise.” — Ruth Lauer Manenti
