This show is a conversation between artists, who are all mothers, about what different stages of mothering feel like.

About

The works included will present painting, sculpture and installation. Pieces across the lifetime of mothers with different ages of children and at different developments in their lives. Here together, we stretch beyond the current discourse about motherhood. Just as we want to be seen as more than just one part of ourselves, we want our work to speak across different cross sections of making art.

We are not the same because we are mothers, what we have in common is an infinite richness of individual imagination. We are able, through the creation of this work, to appreciate the variety of motherhood and the changes over time. Encounters with motherhood in contemporary art are rare but there is growing recognition for this all encompassing subject, which the artists here explore with humour and care.
