Bitter Herbs
Marc Tasman. 2021. About Bitterness. [Digital Arts]
Artist Statement: About Bitterness--we know it has a tendency to bite back. That doesnât mean that you have to hold lingering resentment about it. Try experiencing what else bitterness has to offer: Refreshment and a call to alertness; a heightened sense of the brightness of things and the dark, earthy undertones hidden below those high notes in herbal potions. Clearing out, like a clarion call; forceful and strong; a real zing-zinger. Sharp, tart, acerbic with aromatic compounds of a botanical matter. Coniferous, medicinal, vegetal, savory. But donât fixate on the burning. Let the bitter herb teach you how to let go of those caustic vapors. And please always wear your protective personal equipment when processing potent plants
