mommages & other Motherhood-based works |
Motherhood has changed my art practice in many ways - I have learned to work in short bursts and spend more time developing my work in my head so that my bursts of studio time are efficient. My son’s marks are included in many of the works (mommages). This is an act of courage and bravery for me, as a self-declared control freak. It is also a living metaphor of the symbiotic relationship of mother and child - to give rise to something - giving up some amount of control (in age-appropriate doses) to another while still trying to maintain your own autonomy.
