Motherhood project - Future Uncertain

I’m currently working on a series of pictures exploring my experience of motherhood and the role of mother and family during these crazy times. This has largely been created during lockdown and so taken a step away from the everyday towards something more surreal…as I think many of us may have experienced during lockdown!

Here’s a sneak peek at one of them - ‘Future Uncertain’ is a mixture of oil and acrylic on corrugated cardboard and is 151cm x 151cm.

I spent a lot of time in my friend Sandra’s garden in the summer. I was struck by the difference between her younger sleeping daughter and our older kids clutching water pistols in the background, marching forwards with intent.
