Tannic Bonds, curated by Megan R. Fizell and Olivia Welch, draws together artists working across a range of media to consider environmental and cultural connections through material explorations of tannins, an organic compound found in most plant matter. Tannins, found in leaves, roots, bark, fruits, and seeds, assert their presence; they carry a strong, bitter taste and are known for their ability to colour and stain, penetrating materials with a saturated dye.
The works within
Tannic Bonds
create connections between the seeping stains of tannic substances and the enduring bonds of intergenerational rituals and traditions that mark time, the body, and memory. Artists include Kirtika Kain, Moorina Bonini, d harding, Shivanjani Lal, Monica Rani Rudhar, Cameron Robbins, Abdullah M.I. Syed and Jayanto Tan.
