    The art of repetition has a peculiar fascination for Renata Francescon. She never uses tools. With her bare hands, she thumbs out thin, individually shaped porcelain rose petals. The process is repetitive; one petal after another is made. Her method is significant in itself. Francescon’s fingers leave their imprint on the clay, a physical trace of her presence.
