“It is a matter of time and focus, and any artist who is also a mother is in
short supply of these two essential ingredients. Who are the artists making
it to all the evening gallery openings and artist talks? The meeting and
greeting? Who are the artists with studio spaces separate from their homes
and stuffed full of work? Who are the artists with mentors? Someone who
looks like them? Where is the shop talk taking place? The evolving artistic
dialogue is not happening at the family dinner table or in bed before
storytime. Or with the other parents at school drop-off and pick-up. How
can you be in two places at once?”
These pressures are explored in this fantastic show that resonates and strikes a nerve in a powerfully creative way.
