[M]OTHER, 2022
On first glance the sign appears to be broken, as the bulbs in the letter ‘M’ aren’t working. It is in fact deliberate, and the sign reads both ‘MOTHER’ and ‘OTHER’.
[M]OTHER forces us to explore the conflict we can feel as Mothers, when yearning to also identify as something else; something ‘other’ than.
[M]OTHER also celebrates my personal experience as a mother in a same-sex relationship. Being and having an other-mother, and parenting in an other way.
Created for the ‘Babes in Arms’ exhibition, and shown at the De La War Pavillion, Bexhill. Sept 2022 – Jan 2023.
[M]OTHER is available for sale, or gallery-loan.
