Motherhood is a mixed media painting that uses the act of painting itself as a metaphor for the experience of being a mother. Bright, energetic layers of paint—applied in varying opacities—create a richly textured surface that mirrors the many strata of obligation, responsibility, and meaning that come with the role. Simplified forms of mother and child emerge, outlined in primitive, expressive lines. The fluctuating spaces between them leave the relationships ambiguous: are the child figures approaching, or are they pulling away from the mother, who is contorted along the left edge of the frame?
This original painting is 24 × 24 × 1.5 with painted gallery sides.
