Artist Statement
Using film based photography, and alternative photographic processes I explore my identity, familial relationships and caretaking of my 20 month old daughter. My most recent completed body of work, A Physical Memory is a collection of 365 polaroid images taken in 2018 capturing an intimate look into my daily life from family, snapshots, pregnancy, and new motherhood. In the spring of 2020 I began a self guided artist residency, using my daughter as an inspiration rather than obstacle in my art practice. Creating cyanotype prints of the toys she leaves on the floor.

About
Artist Mother Studio (AMS) seeks to shift the conversation around motherhood to broaden its definition beyond that of a universalist white paternalism to an understanding of it as the conditioning of a world to come. For nine weeks, WPA will function as an artist residency with childcare. AMS will conclude with a mini-conference and a zine on November 3. The project has been organized by DC artist Amy Hughes Braden, with the participation of three artists—Leah Lewis, Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann, and Anne Smith—and their four children, who range in age from several months to 3 years. Braden hopes AMS will elevate the voices of artist mothers/caregivers and continue important conversations about communal labor and how mothers can leverage their experiences for positive social change. But most of all, AMS foregrounds the dependency and entanglement of being a caregiver (a loss, in a traditional sense, of personal freedom) as a generative position from which to create art.
This is the second iteration of AMS, the first took place at Rhizome DC during spring 2018.

Artist Statement
Patti Maciesz is a Polish-American artist and curator based in Oakland, California. Her paintings explore place, narrative and identity and blend digital and analog techniques. Her work has been exhibited in Paris, Warsaw, Vermont, New York and Oakland. She graduated with a degree in Visual Arts from Bennington College in 2007 and later managed the Aldrich Editions program at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. She has since curated multiple international exhibitions including the inaugural exhibition at the Centre Du Mode et du Dessin for Chic Art Fair in Paris, Nowa Soda, an artist-in-residency program in Krakow and most recently Country Singer, a digital art show at Heron Arts in San Francisco featuring artist Dmitri Cherniak. Her recent work takes on the secrecy surrounding postpartum life by presenting the often brutal and sometimes comic realities of early parenthood. In a series of watercolor paintings the artist shares relatable and intimate portraits of her changing body, as well as documentation of the endless minutiae and unrewarded sacrifice of caring for a new child. Part figurative abstraction, part charting and time-sheet, Maciesz resists the invisibility that envelopes mothers with her work.

Artist Statement
After living in New York for six years, I moved to Germany and became pregnant. Nothing in my career as a photographer and artist had prepared me for this experience. Not only were the physical demands of carrying and caring for the babies challenging, it was also a forced change from everything I had learned so far: individuality, ambition and workaholism. I felt like a teenager again, changing rapidly into a new person, not knowing the outcome. I started to look for articles, and images about this process and found lots of advice, but very few actual descriptions of the unsettling shift in identity I was experiencing. And so, over the course of five years, I brought to life two children and a series of photographs. I felt compelled to undress (or dress up) and create images of motherhood I had not seen before. I gave up control of the shutter release, and got in front of the camera to extract a knowledge only my body could tell.

Artist Statement
The Carrying Stones Project is an ongoing series of sculpture, data visualization, and<br />social practice works that explores women’s work inequity in its many forms.<br /><br />Cooking, cleaning, childcare and eldercare responsibilities often still default to women, keeping them from<br />advancing at work and in society. Even community volunteerism—care-taking of the larger<br />community—falls disproportionately on women. This project documents the physical, emotional, and<br />practical effects of these imbalanced burdens.<br /><br />The inequalities that working women face are both systemic and pervasive, and those biases affect<br />individual women differently. As such, the concepts for the Carrying Stones works are viewed through an<br />intersectional lens, and are distilled from the personal narratives of women of diverse ages, ethnicities,<br />orientations, working roles, and socio-economic statuses.

Artist Statement
Artmaking is my microscope and my scalpel: the tool I use to investigate the human organism through sensation and imagination. My recent studio practice looks to early feminist sci-fi while drawing from the matriarchal colony structures of social insects and the internal ecosystems of the microbiome to propose speculative models for human communities of the future, and to reimagine the architecture of our own bodies. Such inquiry must incorporate the experiences of others if it is to evolve. Embedded in my artistic practice is an exchange between individuals and communities that extends from the fictional to lived experiences and experiments. In 2012 I initiated the creative platform <a href="http://artistparentindex.com/items/show/6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cultural ReProducers</a>, which incorporates artist interviews and skillsharing, small-press zines, collaborative events, institutional interventions, and an active online forum to explore the intersection of parenthood and creative practice. My speculative work in the studio is amplified by the community of creative thinkers and cultural workers raising children who I collaborate with and advocate for. This community will continue to evolve as its participants grow and change.

I make participatory performance projects, including theatre, installations, site-based and walking events. The work is playful and irreverent, and explores the sensory, the landscape, and the ways audiences can create and negotiate meaning. I make performance to address the limitations of language, my fascination with identity politics, and my desire to illuminate and document the performative in daily life. I am currently developing Live Art walking practices around the personal geographies and the intimate (and simultaneously very public) performances associated with parenting.

"Our intention is to create a community of mothers who are also artists, in order to help balance a life where child rearing and domestic life are constantly juxtaposed to the demands of making ones own art. We meet monthly to share about our different creative processes and to discuss various topics that explore creativity and motherhood. Most importantly, we have a built-in system for childcare in exchange for studio time."<br /><br /><a href="http://makermamas.org/2015/05/07/maternal-matters-2/" target="_blank">From Maternal Matters Essay</a>

Curatorial Statement
The Let Down Reflex is an exhibition that attempts to recognize the complexities of parenting in the art world, and asks if a better alternative for families can exist. Calling out a slippage in today’s feminist art world, the curators summon a group of artist-parents to contribute to a springboard for re-imagining an art world where “Mom” is not a demeaning characterization, where childcare is factored in for participating artists at art spaces, and where artists aren’t forced to choose between home and work because of a lack of parental leave. The “let down reflex,” a term referencing the involuntary reflex that causes nursing mothers to produce breast milk, takes on a double meaning in this exhibition, referring here to the reflexive tendency of letting down parents, and particularly mothers, within the flawed labor system of the art world.
