In Tether, artist Teju Abiola utilizes the traditional Yorùbá resist-dyeing method of àdìrẹ eleko to explore contradictions of intersectional identity and the reassociation of the abstract ruminating mind with the physical sensing body. Tethers are ties that can restrict and restrain, but also connect and comfort. Each piece is an attempt at weaving connections with herself; reconciling who she came from, who she is, who she is becoming, and who she has always been. Lush and textural, her works become sites of aesthetic melancholia that entice viewers to look closer.

Troubled by feeling disconnected from her Nigerian heritage and a dissociating set of neuroses and disorders, she pursues catharsis in solidifying the intangible—transmuting injury, belief, burden, and hope into tactile, malleable art objects. She employs scarves to embody her work beyond the static two dimensional image, taking advantage of how fabric’s sartorial purpose links the optical and corporeal. For her, a Black woman with OCD and trichotillomania, headscarves are both comfort objects and barriers. Her personal motivations in donning a scarf nearly every day mirrors those of the broader African diaspora, simultaneously imbuing the act of head covering with shame, compulsion, protection, decoration, and celebration.

Tether invites viewers to consider the many ways we are linked to the world, to each other, and to ourselves.
