This work is focused on motherhood. Particularly the repetitive actions, the accumulation of actions over time, the physical strength that is summoned in the act of care. It is a work that is about centering the domestic, the hidden, the private.
This work has two branches: process and product. The process actively seeks to bring down barriers for mothers and parents to work, to have spaces to connect with other mothers and parents, and to build kin networks with their children.
This is a work in progress of approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
