Description
Tributaries explores the fibres of flora, fauna, and human systems.
Tributaries is a travelling exhibition by artist, Tineke Van der Eecken. The exhibition's next stop is at at the Museum of the Great Southern in Albany. It focuses on the connection between all living matter. Van der Eecken will offer an artists talk and a series of workshops, from masterclasses making wearable treasures to writing.
It includes jewellery, small fine metal sculptures, and objects formed by corrosion casting, a process by which resin is injected into animal organs and other biological systems to form moulds of internal spaces.
These objects are placed in dialogue with photographic images and poetry that document the thrum of life and death in environmental arterial systems, connecting root, river, skeleton, and vein.
Tributaries is both a contemporary memento mori and a reminder of the constantly changing states of all organic matter, including our own bodies – a testament to the interconnection of human, animal and environment.
