HAND/EYE FUND
These hand-carved river stone hearts from the village of Cormier, located in a rural zone just east of Port au Prince, represent the best link between Haitian artisans and the distant markets they must reach to earn a living. HAND/EYE Fund, through its Austin, Texas importing partner, Tesoros Trading Co., offers employment to the carvers by buying the hearts from them.
The stone hearts are little labors of love created by the Haitian stone carvers of Cormier. They’re a testament to the resilient, tenacious, creative spirit of the Haitian people and it is this creativity that has inspired our project. As, Keith Recker of the HAND/EYE Fund said, “Out of nothing, Haitians create not just daily life, but a vast spiritual world of stunning intricacy.” So, join us. We’re excited to be stunned by the brilliance of your hearts.
Proceeds from sales of the hearts go to the HAND/EYE Fund’s artisan grants program in Haiti – which offers small cash grants to artists and artisans who need to rebuild houses and workshops, replenish tools and raw materials, and gain access to design input from the markets in which they are trying to sell. The HAND/EYE Fund’s artisan grants program supports Haiti artisans in their struggle to rebuild their lives and businesses in the aftermath of the January 2010 earthquake.
