Tethered: Embodying the Mother-Artist Model
This exhibition Tethered: Embodying the Mother-Artist Model was a two-part showcase of my own work in the Red Door Gallery and that of my five research participants in the adjacent USQ Art Gallery. Red Door Gallery showcased the artworks that I developed throughout my practice-led Doctor of Creative arts research project through utilising the ‘Mother-Artist Model’ (MAM). The MAM was utilised to develop three key bodies of installation and video work, Lost/Found (2016) (1), Threshold Obscured (2017) (2) and Bearing Witness: Absence (2018) (3).

MOTHER
This exhibition showcased the ongoing practice of female visual artists whose work investigates the intersection of the Mother/Artist role as valid subject matter. The works included will highlight that the actual act of crossing borders between the roles of Mother and Artist is the intersection where new rituals and ideas of the domestic are formed, which is valid and important as a form of creative process.
