“My first notion, when I thought about filling a Plakat was to catch your eye with simple symbols and imagery. Pieced together with hand-painted, hand-cut pieces of galvanized steel sheet metal, hundreds of nails, and many yards of copper wire, it interacts with the daylight, to bring out its shine and metallic glow. This piece of art is intended to celebrate the ways we use our hands as tools – to bend, shape, and bring to fruition that which we create in our mind’s eye. The triple Moon Goddess symbol (Maiden, Mother, Crone) on the back of the piece is one of my favorite reflections of the natural beauty and permanence of constant change.” – Carri Wakefield

Located on 300 South between the Plan – B Theatre and The Peery Hotel.
Celebration of the Hand was started by The Temporary Museum of Permanent Change and Craft Lake City in the Summer of 2012 as a way to highlight and showcase the work of local artisans participating in the Craft Lake City DIY Festival. The Celebration of the Hand pieces are installed into steel Plakats, which are adjacent to the sidewalks on the North and South sides of Broadway (300 South) between 200 West and 200 East.
The exhibit is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is free to the public.
