About the Item

TENDRIL by Heather Hartman was created for her show titled "Kudzu Season." This painting titled "Tendril," depicts a kudzu vine in white, layered over an atmospheric gradient of pink, yellow, and purple. Vertical linear shadows and hazy visions of bustling leaves in the background give the painting an ethereal quality. The painting consists of multiple layers of paper, cut and painted tyvek, and silkscreen mesh to establish an airy feel. 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.
