"Rifling through the very western canon of art history, DeFreitas goes on a treasure hunt for hands that compare more favourably to her own than are usually attributed as the hand of the artist. Sources range from medieval statuary to Grace Jones to Carrie Mae Weems to nineteenth-century psychiatric patients to Archibald Motley’s grandmother to, not surprisingly, her own mother, grounded by a text that riffs off Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons." Michael Maranda
