(M)Other is an Opera!
As an artist, I need to make. This sounds simple, but it’s complex. It is a need wider than me, bigger than me, deeper than me. It connects to the hunger of artists scattered throughout history before me. It is stitched to past women who have found dedication through vocation. It is insatiable. I am the mother of my practice. My recent work has focused on motherhood, as I navigate IVF. I’ve read, breathed, watched, injected and manifested mother—whatever that may mean—hoping all this creative energy will lead to a baby.
