MOTHER is an attempt to make visible the essential work of mothers, to shed light on the absolute insanity that is childbirth, and to celebrate artist-mothers. This exhibition features thirteen artist mothers who are making work about motherhood.

The notes I took for this exhibition are scribbled on the back of daycare intake forms that I never filled out. It seems this is the way all non-urgent / non-baby related activities fit into life these days: in the in-between, on the backs, in the nights, and in the early mornings. Creating art, a non-vital act that also feels life-bringing, now trickles in to fill those cracks when it used to overtake like a tidal wave. 

I am in awe of those artist-mothers that find a way to continue to create art, even though they’ve created life, that they find a wayespeciallynow that they’ve created life. This exhibition celebrates them, exploring the angers and the joys and the combinations of the two that can only be understood once a child has entered your life.

MOTHER is graciously supported by individual donors, Atelier4, El-Co Color Labs, Inc., and Resident Culture Brewing Co.
