Artist Statement
<p><span>My work represents my frustrations about domestic life, by communicating the raw, unfiltered side of how my anxiety and motherhood sometimes coincide. By addressing the harsh stigmas society has towards both anxiety and motherhood, I hope to normalize the reality rather than continue the cycle of these idealized notions of what motherhood is supposed to be. My work may appear selfish at times, but I think that is ok, and should become the societal norm. It is a part of the job description as a parent that your needs become second to your child’s, but your needs must not be forgotten. The work that I am creating allows me to release my frustrations about domestic life, and motherhood is a part of that. Recognizing my faults as a person, as a mother, and learning from them can only make me better at my job. I visually express the exhaustion I feel from the seemingly constant and endless amount of housework with <em>Good Moms Need Help II.</em> I used a domestic object, an ironing board, I then bent and twisted until it became useless. Useless in the sense of being an ironing board. It appears sad, tired, it is trying desperately to perform its duties but can’t. I should be able to discuss my feelings and frustrations without ridicule but that is not often the case. I am often met with, “you’ll miss these days,” resulting in my feelings being again disregarded, and as if I can feel nothing but happiness about motherhood or I am viewed as ungrateful. Will I miss this time in my children’s lives? Absolutely. Is it also valid that some days the housework and messes they create are exhausting and make me go crazy to the point I complain, absolutely.</span></p>

Artist Statement
Crystal Ann Brown is an interdisciplinary artist/mother/academic currently working in
Buckhannon, West Virginia. For the past 9 years, her work has focused on holistically
blending art and life. This blending of her studio practice with her daily life also touches on
its inherent challenges. In her words, “my love/hate relationship with my kitchen might
manifest in my drawings and paintings that celebrate work and the labor of love with a hint
of fury and frustration shown in the economy of line found in blind contour drawings.” Her
practice strives to reveal the underappreciated aspects of mothering and everyday life
through the use of textiles, sculpture, time-based media, social practice and drawing.

Artist Statement
Mother Skins is an interactive photo performance series about motherhood,
self-identity and postpartum depression. Wearing colorful full-body suits with neutral faces sewn
into them, participants photographed themselves doing various domestic tasks in relation to
their roles as mothers. The photographs reveal moments of tenderness and mundanity while
playfully addressing the alienation that many mothers feel after having a child. The images
included in this selection were taken by Emilia White.

Artist Statement
I am interested in the unwanted and dismissed. Objects are both stumbled upon and purposefully chosen. Thoughts, memories and past experiences are scavenged through in an effort to find meaning and uncover connections. My paintings document this search. The set-up allows me to object to preconceived ideas and assumptions; challenge an image or impression that is forced upon an object or relationship.
Everything has meaning. Seemingly random objects we encounter, no matter how unceremoniously, hold a flood of associations and truths buried in the sub conscience. The only way to tease them out is through sensitive observation and suspension of prejudice.
