Informazioni sul libro
In June 2020, a private Facebook group was set up for mothers of all ages and backgrounds to submit a sentence using the phrase ‘Motherhood is …’, in order to represent their experiences of mothering during this challenging time. The aim was to collect the same number of sentences to the number of days the UK was in the first national lock-down; 92 in total. This number also took into account the length of time vulnerable mothers needed to shield. Over six months, 189 mothers joined the group, contributing a sentence and/or portrait picture of themselves drawn by their children which have been added to the book. The sentences are presented alongside beautiful artworks by artists who are mothers.

I am a multidisciplinary, socially engaged artist. My work involves collecting personal stories in groups, through conversational interviews and through research. Anecdotes, words or phrases from conversations or writing are combined with different forms, such as fabric, paper or audio and often presented as installations in galleries or alternative public spaces. I have exhibited my work in throughout the UK and abroad.
