Tell Tales, 2025
Darcy Whent
My practice explores the themes and ideologies that come with the idea of motherhood in particular the dysfunctional responsibilities that we anticipate of the mother. Through the use of personal enquiry and autofiction I turn to painting and drawing within my practice. Throughout my work there are dialogue's with reoccurring protagonists and motifs. Using found imagery along with personal archives I construct and form my own narratives to build an understanding of what I believe consists of motherhood, revisiting the grief that happened from the perspective of the present through the manipulation of paint.
