When my daughter Clara turned 11, I invited her friends and their mothers to my studio to pose for me individually. During the drawing sessions with the mothers, the conversations turned to the challenges of motherhood, and how their mothering techniques had been influenced by their own mothers. I subsequently recorded those reflections about their mothers and wove them together in a sound track to accompany the large-scale graphite drawings. They have been exhibited at the Art Gym at Marylhurst University as part of a group exhibition "Motherlode", and a one-person exhibition "Materfamilia" at Fairbanks Gallery, Oregon State University.
