Bleach on weathered linen
450 x 250 cm
2023
Marcia Teusink’s work is concerned with transforming the values we place on the more-than-human world. In her multifaceted practice, flowers bloom from trade ships, abstract mark-making creates space for reflection, and maps unfurl across territories and histories. She foregrounds human interventions in the environment, where the colonial transplantation of species has introduced significant unforeseen changes among ecosystems. Working with the poetic and political power of archives, maps, and catalogues, her deeply researched practice conveys the compelling under-told narratives that weave together human and nonhuman lives. - text by Anna Souter
