About the Item
This piece by Heather Hartman was created for her show titled "Kudzu Season," at Channel to Channel Gallery. In this piece, layers of paper, painted tyvek and silkscreen create a dreamy lavender and pale yellow atmosphere that recedes into space. Several fibrous kudzu vines dangle from an unseen vantage point ay the upper right-hand side of the painting. The dark purple of the vines contrasts heavily with the light and airy background. Vines curl and stretch towards the bottom of the canvas, leaves unfold at various points and flowers bloom. As the viewer, we get the sense that spring has sprung and the plant is beginning to activate in the warm weather, signified by a pastel sky.
The kudzu plant is both a visual and conceptual touchpoint, signifying the historical complexity and seasonal cycles of the American South. Originally introduced to provide shade in the home garden, Kudzu was later promoted as a cure for farmland ravaged by tobacco and cotton monoculture. Its invasive nature was not truly understood until it was too late. The roots grew deeper. The wounded land, bandaged in a green blanket, did not heal.
Yet kudzu persists. An undeniable part of the Southern landscape, it has been used as food, as medicine, a way to build homes, and a means of creating sustainable fuel. The question of Kudzu is still incomplete. Understanding its visual presence in Hartman’s surroundings offered a new way to grapple with other incomplete questions of ecology and mutability.
