Tunnel Mound Come Back
Tunnel Mound Comeback showcases work that stems from “invasive” plant species. Each artist addresses a form of relationship towards the plant material they work with.
We place quotation marks on the word “invasive” as a way for us to leave room to think about how this word informs our relationship to these plants, and the parallel ways we use this word outside of a plant context.
Elena Kirby (Tkaronto), Masumi Rodriguez (Tiohtià:ke/Montréal) and Emi Takahashi (Tiohtià:ke/Montréal) create work surrounding the plant known as dog-strangling vine. In conversation with the show, artist Bhavika Sharma (Tkaronto) takes on the plumb bar using a weedy/migrant plant known as phragmites. @elenakirbys + @_masu + @emi.taka.hashi + @fibre_graft
