Absolutely love this 🙌 #Repost @meganwynnestudio with @get_repost ・・・ Honoring the postpartum belly. (Covered in confetti by my kids) I am almost 9 months out after giving birth and people still ask if I’m pregnant. So much positive attention is given to the pregnant belly, but after birth the postpartum belly is supposed to either not exist or go back to being a source of shame. I’m working on this project to honor my body for what it went through and for what it is. #motherartist #motherhood #bodypositivity #femalegaze #postpartumbody #photography
#Repost @sarahirvinart with @get_repost ・・・ This week @masseykleingallery will feature my Rocking Chair Drawings in a two-person show opening Friday, January 11. This series was made starting the day I went into labor and ended the day my daughter turned one. I turned the nursery rocking chair into a tool for mark making, and the resulting 59 drawings recorded every time the chair was used. #rockingchairdrawings. #rockingchairs #earlyparenthood #infant #infantcare #babies #nursery #artgallery #artecontemporanea #arte #caregivers #carework #laboranddelivery #firstbirthday #artistlife #art #graphite #graphiteonpaper

Don't miss Rachel Fallon : Home Front, a solo exhibition at Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray, Ireland. Exhibition open until 19th January. 'From Aprons of Power to miraculous Assumptions, Home Front looks at territorial wars in domestic spaces. Rachel Fallon’s sculptural subversions of military mottos and associated objects poke a finger at ideals of motherhood, linking past histories and politics to the roles women play in society today. In her work Rachel explores themes of protection and defense in domestic realms and addresses the domain of motherhood. Her practice encompasses sculpture, drawing, photography and performance and she is known for her collaborations with Irish and international artists and collectives. A founding member of Outpost Studios and of pff publications; a feminist zine collective, a member of U.K. collectives Desperate Artwives and Project Procreate.

Loving our #topnine2018 💕 It has been such a wonderful first year for @spiltmilkgallery and amazing to think we first started this journey with a simple mission to #makemotherhoodvisible by sharing the work of artists who are mothers. Spilt Milk has grown into an international membership network, a social enterprise supporting vulnerable mothers through creative workshops, a platform to exhibit the diverse and groundbreaking works of artists who are mothers and a community of support for women and mothers to share their experiences. Since launching on International women's day 2018 we have curated a film screening @stillsedinburgh a community art project and exhibition with a group of young mums @northedinarts and our first members exhibition @customhouseleith We would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for your support thus far. Thank you to the artists who have shared your work and your stories and for trusting our vision. Thank you to #unltdscotland for providing startup funding so we could pilot our workshops and thanks to @goodideasscot for giving us the support to begin our journey. Thank you to every one of our followers and supporters and friends and colleagues who have helped us achieve so much. We can't wait to see what we can achieve together in 2019! Happy New Year! 💕💕💕 . . . . #spiltmilk #socent #motherhood #communityart #nonprofitarts #scotland #mothersmatter #supportmothers #womeninthearts #ifyoubuildittheywillcome #womensupportwomen #motherartists #internationalartists #figurativeart #neon #photographer
