Marlise Keith: Blight

1 - 25 September 2010

iArt Gallery Wembley: A Project Room for Contemporary Art

In her latest body of work, Blight, Marlise Keith is concerned with the ways in which we use and live with “nourishing” metaphors. The term “blight” refers to the discolouring and eventual death of plants as a result of incapacity to produce sufficient chlorophyll. The disease is most commonly associated with potatoes, the disease being responsible for the Great Irish Famine in the mid 1800s. In this exhibition, Keith draws on her encounters with people and food, or, more specifically, people who eat food, or don’t, or can’t.
