About the Item

This piece by Heather Hartman, made for her show "Kudzu Season," is one of a series of four paintings representing the four seasons relative to the Kudzu growth cycle. "Waning," is the autumnal piece of the series. Peach and magenta undertones outline a hazy vision of leaves bustling in the sunshine. The dark silhouette of a kudzu vine curves in from the upper right-hand side of the painting and angles down to the lower center. Because Autumn is the season of growth for Kudzu, the vine is shown mostly bare, with several leaves sprouting in the lower half of the painting. White "sun spots" scattered across the deep shadows of the vine not only create visually appealing contrast, but give the painting the dreamlike qualities of an old photograph. A memory of a sunny day peppered with fall colors is encapsulated in this piece. 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.
