24″ x 6″ x 1.5″ (quadriptych)
Acrylic, ink, and embroidery on canvas
2021
This quadriptych focuses on motherhood and identity. Over the course of my adult life, my role as mother has changed and the part of my identity that is “Mom” has changed with it. From single-parenthood to a less-active role as my child aged to adulthood, to joining a new family and becoming a step-mother. This work illustrates motherhood as a constant but the relationship to it changing along the way using hand-inked lines and embroidered threads.
