Maternal Conversations in Paper, Drawing, and Poetry
A Changing Mother-Child “Us”
Abstract
As a small arts-based inquiry, this article speaks to the production of a collage that prompted a poem exploring mothering transitions as a child becomes an adult. The intense relational changes alive within the mother-child “us” (Moy, An Arts 134) are amplified in these artworks to approach sense-making differently. A maternal experience of privilege, unknowing and awe unfurls within the changing mother-child “us”. This is contextualized within a new materialist ethico-onto-epistemology (Barad 185) and the expansive field of mothering studies.
