Artist Statement
As a contemporary artist, I create based on visuals concepts of the imagination and real life. Including abstract techniques in my portraits and other pieces, allows room for the audience to connect to each body of work and identify themselves somewhere in the storyline. Uniquely I chose to opt out of outlining as done in my previous works, and focused on using bold color choices. My art represents my story, but I know it’s a story many know well. <br /><br />In my Mother and Son series, I hope to reflect the honesty and beauty of motherhood, the ugly too. It’s far from perfect for any parent. No matter what walk of life you come from, this series is personal, it’s transgenerational, it’s ours. Mother and Son is a reminder that I’m not alone in this everchanging journey and makes light of precious fleeting moments along the way.

Artist Statement
<p class="p1">I’ve been a working artist, curator, community activist and teacher for more than 25 years, creating and producing intimate solo performances, large-scale public happenings, socially engaged interventions and performance art workshops and lectures. My practice extends across black boxes and white cubes, art fairs and subway stations, international festivals, and single bathroom stalls. I’ve operated an artist-run newsstand in a vacant subway station kiosk, a soup kitchen for artists, a breast milk tasting bar, and a performance festival hub for kids. I’m forever inspired by the rebel queers, renegade witches, and other dyke moms I run with, and bound to many brilliant artists, activists, spell-casters and healers. <span class="s1">For many years I made performances that drew from my own experiences of trauma and transformation, intimacy and motherhood. More recently, I’ve experienced a shift in my practice, where my attention has turned to wider theoretical questions about the nature of performance itself to </span>ask questions about when, where, how we perform - in theatres and galleries, on social media, and in our everyday lives.</p>

Curatorial Statement
<p><em>New Maternalisms Redux</em> is the third and last in the <em>New Maternalisms</em> exhibition series (following Toronto 2012 and Santiago 2014). It features five artists drawn from the first two exhibitions: Lenka Clayton, Jess Dobkin, Alejandra Herrera, Courtney Kessel, & Jill Miller. The work of these artists represents a spectrum of experience; it includes queer and straight identified mothers, single and partnered mothers, mothers of differently abled children, mothers of twins and singletons, and a represents range of race/class/economic privilege. This range of positionalities inflects the performance and project-based work presented here -- work that investigates the maternal iteratively, as a political and affective force. Considered individually and together, these works engage with one another and the public, drawing the community into important conversations around what it means to mother, as a non-reductive, thinking-feeling and political practice, today.</p>
<p><em>A three-day colloquium, <a href="http://www.newmaternalisms.com/colloquium-overview/">Mapping the Maternal: Art, Ethics, and the Anthropocene</a>, is being held in conjunction with the exhibition, with participants drawn from the most prominent voices on feminist art and the maternal today. The keynote presentation is being delivered by internationally recognized feminist theorist and art historian, Dr. Griselda Pollock. This colloquium, open to the public, brings crucial thinking on the anthropocene and anthropogenic climate change together with thinking on the maternal as metaphor, practice, and politics. </em><em>Accompanying the exhibition there will be a film screening at Edmonton’s <a href="http://www.metrocinema.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Metro Cinema at the Garneau Theater</a> (3:30 pm on May 13th). The screening features two shorts, <a href="http://sheenawilson.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sheena Wilson’s</a> PetroMama and <a href="http://ginamiller.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gina Miller’s</a> Family Tissues, and a full-length screening of <a href="http://www.artistparentindex.com/items/show/295" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Irene Lusztig’s </a>award-winning <a href="http://motherhoodarchives.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Motherhood Archives</a>.<br /></em></p>
