Artist Statement
As a contemporary artist, I create based on visuals concepts of the imagination and real life. Including abstract techniques in my portraits and other pieces, allows room for the audience to connect to each body of work and identify themselves somewhere in the storyline. Uniquely I chose to opt out of outlining as done in my previous works, and focused on using bold color choices. My art represents my story, but I know it’s a story many know well. <br /><br />In my Mother and Son series, I hope to reflect the honesty and beauty of motherhood, the ugly too. It’s far from perfect for any parent. No matter what walk of life you come from, this series is personal, it’s transgenerational, it’s ours. Mother and Son is a reminder that I’m not alone in this everchanging journey and makes light of precious fleeting moments along the way.

Artist Statement
<p class="p1">I’ve been a working artist, curator, community activist and teacher for more than 25 years, creating and producing intimate solo performances, large-scale public happenings, socially engaged interventions and performance art workshops and lectures. My practice extends across black boxes and white cubes, art fairs and subway stations, international festivals, and single bathroom stalls. I’ve operated an artist-run newsstand in a vacant subway station kiosk, a soup kitchen for artists, a breast milk tasting bar, and a performance festival hub for kids. I’m forever inspired by the rebel queers, renegade witches, and other dyke moms I run with, and bound to many brilliant artists, activists, spell-casters and healers. <span class="s1">For many years I made performances that drew from my own experiences of trauma and transformation, intimacy and motherhood. More recently, I’ve experienced a shift in my practice, where my attention has turned to wider theoretical questions about the nature of performance itself to </span>ask questions about when, where, how we perform - in theatres and galleries, on social media, and in our everyday lives.</p>

About
<p>The Mother Load is a global network of women who have connected through the simple act of passing a name from one person to another, creating an elaborate community of women who are both artists and mothers.</p>
<p>In 2012, US based artists Lesli Robertson and Natalie Macellaio established The Mother Load, in an effort to encourage dialogue and connection between women who balance artistic careers and motherhood. This project is about recording these connections and finding ways to share, collaborate and support each other and our work.</p>

Artist Statement
<p class="paragraph_style_1"><span>Italian born, Amy moved to London in 1998 and graduated from Central Saint Martins College in 2005. Her work is mainly autobiographical but also holds a socio-political dynamic. Making the personal public her work originates from the female body, concepts of everyday life, loss of identity, the importance of memories and the abstraction of longing are central to her practice. Domesticity as a ‘visual language’ where maternal subjectivity is explored via different media such us drawings, photography, video installation and performance. </span></p>
