Both Artist & Mother (NCECA)
Curated by Kate Fisher
www.bothartistandmother.com
In our contemporary ceramic community, many women have gracefully
tackled the lively experiment that is being both artist and mother.
These dual roles simultaneously impact each other both practically and
conceptually. As many women have discovered, to experience maternity is
to epitomize the vessel. This along with clay’s often-recognized
metaphoric relationship to the stages of life itself provides artists
who utilize clay in their work a unique perspective on the
art/motherhood lively experiment.
Over the past year, Kate Fisher has been surveying, interviewing and
documenting a cross section of ceramic artists who are also mothers.
Examining how children, or the circumstances of their lives as they
include them, changed and impacted the work these artists choose to make
and/or how they make it. This exhibition features the women of Kate’s
research collaborations and the creative work they make in their studio
practices.
Participating Artists:
(Interviewed Mothers)
Jen Allen, Kate Fisher, Erin Furminsky, Molly Hatch, Alicia Mack,
