During the last years of her life, the artist's mother-in-law, Dorothy lived with the artist's young family. Dorothy suffered from Alzheimer's and required continuous attention. Multiple caregivers assisted the family; their participation led to this installation sculpture. Here, plaster casts of each helper represent the unseen process of tending to Dorothy and the endless cycle of care.
Caring Hands is part of the permanent collection of Mattatuck Museum and was selected for the reopening of the museum, February 28th, 2021.
Artist Maryna Bilak was present at the opening with her husband Maurice Haughton and her daughter Irina.
