Oviloo is undoubtedly one of the premier sculptors of her generation, creating personal evocative images of her hopes, fears, and life as an artist. Why so many hands in her sculptures? Oviloo replies: “Actually I care about hands because our hands are the most useful parts of our bodies. When I look at my hands, I am amazed at what they can do.”
