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.
