Fennel Eaters
Statement:
Moshava Art is proud to present "Fennel Eaters", a solo exhibition by painter Tal Tamam, who describes her work in the lineage of those “captur[ing] the instant before gravity takes over, when awareness begins to replace innocence.” Her vibrant scenes incorporate culturally significant vegetables in varying states of ripeness, wholeness or enjoyment, begging the question, “Just how messy is the space between fresh and forgotten?”
