Topic motherhood women mothering online resource About In our contemporary ceramic community many women have gracefully tackled the lively experiment that is being both artist and mother. Mothering is a complex subject that touches many aspects of an artist’s life and practice. These dual roles simultaneously impact each other both practically and conceptually. As many women have discovered, to experience maternity is to epitomize the vessel. This along with clay’s often-recognized metaphoric relationship to the stages of life itself, provides artists who utilize clay in their work a unique perspective on the art/motherhood lively experiment.<br /><br />Over the past year(s), Kate Fisher has been surveying, interviewing and documenting a cross section of ceramic artists who are also mothers. Examining how children, or the circumstances of their lives as they include them, changed and impacted the work these artists choose to make and/or how they make it. <br /><br />The goal of <a href="http://www.bothartistandmother.com" target="_blank">www.bothartistandmother.com</a> is to present an ongoing digital record of interviews and stories from women ceramicists. The hope is that this project will provide insight and encouragement to talented female artists, which in turn impacts the field’s future. Initially the site includes profiles of 11 artist/mothers.This is important, because it encourages talented female artists, which in turn impacts the field’s future. Initially, the site includes profiles of 11 artist/mothers. The hope is to repeat the interview process with additional artist/mothers in the future. Site visitors are able to listen to or download interviews with the artists, read transcriptions of the dialogues and view links to related events, information, and exhibits. The site’s flexible format will accommodate an ever-expanding narrative and exchange of stories, questions, and advice designed to help artists communicate.
