Hands of Time by Christopher Pardell is a limited-edition mixed media sculpture that honors the enduring tradition of Native American pottery and the wisdom passed through generations. The artwork depicts an Indigenous woman seated as she carefully decorates a traditional clay vessel, symbolizing the patience, skill, and cultural heritage preserved through her hands. Crafted from bronze, fine pewter, brass, copper, and hand-applied finishes, the figure is adorned with colorful beaded jewelry and a patterned sash that add warmth and authenticity. Encased within a sculpted clear Lucite vessel with a frosted base, the sculpture creates mirrored reflections that present multiple views of the artist's subject simultaneously, reinforcing the theme of time, continuity, and legacy.
