"Mark a Stain" brings together four artists exploring themes of impermanence, vulnerability, and history mediated through the perspective of lived experience. Artworks reflect on lingering memories and the way history is etched over time, shaped by the social realities of consumption, bodily trauma, and past feelings. Some of these traces manifest as heavy and confrontational, while others appear more fragile and luminous. The materials are also deeply tactile, adopting treatments of staining, crumpling, tearing, and pooling; be it through ceramic, yarn, latex, or historical text.
