Churning Mother | Brianna Allen
“Churning Mother” explores the depth and agitation experienced in early motherhood and reflects on what emerges thereafter. The exhibit includes paintings, installation and literary work.
“Mother Of…” portraits are paintings of mothers with their hands full and their own identities changed forevermore. They are surrounded by their own early mothering ethos; preserved bouquets, faded stuffies, crystals, band aides and lollypops. This ongoing series of portraits invoke a kind of mothercode sentiment that feels safe when together.
Other paintings reflect a personal time of overload and burnout. These are a vulnerable offering for those who may have felt it too.
