A study on process: from photography to drawing.
The mind is a space of process and a chronic state of interruptions. The artist’s whose practice is studio based is supposed to find within this space the comfort of focus and isolation. For artists looking after young children, there is a constant beat of interruption that doesn’t forgive. For the past seven years, my work has been reflecting on how to produce work while coexisting with my two young children. How can we focus on the artist modus operandi, isolation and focus, when that space is constantly interrupted by the domestic sphere? Work happens in bits and pieces, and it has that same never ending sensation of tidying up children’s toys. Drawing from a permanent sense of nostalgia from that moment in which I, the woman, was not a carer, and when time and focus where not precious commodities, I decided to start weaving and constructing an exploration on the idea of processes and that which is left open ended and unfinished, as the same way as motherhood is a work in progress.
