“The final painting in a small series of works I created during the spring/summer 2022. The series is a response to myself and my 3 children being threatened with homelessness. Triggering an overwhelming sense of responsibility to protect us and our liberty. From a humanity point of view this piece represents motherhood and how systems treat our contributions with irreverence.  And how a human’s worth is measured by their level of ‘acceptable’ productivity. Motherhood not being It. I experienced feelings of being trapped in a system that wasn’t working to help us and told me I had no power. 

The use of lines, layering, scratching into and removal of paint create a sense of disturbance; symbolic of the internal and external struggles and pressures that were on me. And amongst the disturbance there are also areas that feel quietly spacious – reflecting inner poise and a deep reverence for experience and for my Sovereignty.“
