A ceramic sculpture by José López Aragón of San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca — made in barro negro, the black clay whose deep, burnished surface has made this village famous throughout Mexico. The form is deliberately ambiguous: a hand that suggests a foot, or a foot that becomes a hand, the familiar made strange through a single formal decision. López Aragón's barro negro gives the piece a weight and presence that amplifies the strangeness — this is an object that knows what it is doing. A quiet, unsettling, beautiful work.
