Materials that resist these stains require a fixative, or mordant, which bites (mordere) and holds. Here, five complexing agents (ligands) surround a central metal ion. Think of a piece of foam with five lollipops stuck into it, a bouquet held by that unifying ion. The ligands operate in a sphere, a Coordination Complex.
Coordination Complex (diagram enclosed) is a show of new work by the 2nd year MFA cohort in the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory at the University of British Columbia.
We acknowledge that the creation and presentation of these bodies of work take place on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) First Nation.
