I am a stay-at-home mom. I work during my son's naps. My art projects have been scaled down in size to what I can produce and pack up in any given two-hour stretch. The limitation of not having a studio separate from my house has produced some very intimate work. I work in a small scale at the kitchen table. Nap-time is my time to fantasize and enter my pre-parenting world. I am free to be vengeful and self-pitying, violent and selfish, emotions that are at odds with motherhood. The crazy-making of living with and raising small children is the subject of my work. The obsessive thinking regarding a newborn's eating, sleeping and breathing and the repetition of daily routine are represented by intricate patterning. Figures battle with kitchen utensils which are the size of themselves. They are at odds, overwhelmed or simultaneously vengeful with the act of homemaking. The kitchen is where it all happens, messy food and emotions spill out.
