The works chronicle the birth of a special child as a collaboration with those who wish to remain anonymous. Printed on fabric, we explore the labor of women, both in birth and in the care of the home (laundry, making of clothes, etc). We are also thinking about connections, between mother and son, mother and daughter, sister and sister.

How are hands an integral part of the labor and connections experienced in a woman’s world?

They will be exhibited at the Chicago Art Department for the Mother Art Revisited show “Knots and Nodes” (date TBD).

Here are a few glimpses into the works which act as a series and are hung from laundry lines.
