Beyond the wash pile: abstract photography as curative ritual for the Matricentric* maker.
August 2020 / February 2021This paper will survey the intersectional[i] dilemmas of the Mother Artist in relation to a contemporary art discourse and how this situation motivates my art practice. Historically the Abstract expressionists made large scale works as an emotional response to the atrocities of war, “increasingly disenchanted with political engagement”. (Stiles, K., & Selz, P. pg. 18, 2012) I too am responding to a 21st century realm of uncertainty. I make simultaneously alongside my role as Mother, rather than separate to.
