Neo-Maternalism: Contemporary Artists’ Approach to Motherhood
by Sharon Butler
I came across this article from a link on Kate Kretz's blog page. I'm not about to go and have children but from looking at feminist art and what it means to be female i think pregnancy and child birth is quite relevant. Its crazy to think that Judy Chicago worked for five years making 'The Birth Project' and yet never had any of her own children, it almost feels like she is lying? The birth project included artists from... wait for it... as far away as NEW ZEALAND quote unquote well how about that! I can't find the name of the NZ artist though. tear.Birth Tear/Tear from 'The Birth Project". 1982
