"BLUE LEATHER JACKET (My Mother Had 80 Coats)" by Elana Winsberg
LIKE MOTHER...
From KELLY LYLES, Curator: The impetus for LIKE MOTHER… was learning that my own need to make work after my mother's death is a shared one. Many of my friends were losing their moms, too, and wanted to “work out” emotions around their passing. These are artists whom I admire with stories to tell. Some of their mothers were pilots, actresses, dancers, scientists, world-travelers, etc, in addition to being home-makers.
These wonderful women should live on for our (artists and our families) benefit, but more importantly when strangers see LIKE MOTHER, hopefully they'll reflect on their own parental heritage; their stories, struggles and triumphs. We question ourselves: “What are the stories people will tell about us someday?”
LIKE MOTHER... shows the work of 22 artists: Deborah Ann, Marilyn Charlat Dix, Diem Chau, Marita Dingus, Maura Donegan, Cathy Fields, David Francis, Malayka Gormally, Troy Gua, Liz Halvorson, Dionne Haroutounian, Lauren Iida, Iskra Johnson, Deborah Kapoor, Deborah Faye Lawrence, Christen Mattix, Lisa Myers Bulmash, Jane Orleman, Rachel Solimeno, Joan Stuart Ross, Elana Winsberg, and Suze Woolf.
