The Maternal in Creative Work examines the interrelation between
art, creativity and maternal experience, inviting international
artists, theorists and cultural workers to discuss their approaches
to the central feminist question of the relation between maternity,
generation and creativity. This edited collection explores various
modes and forms of art practice which look at mothers as subjects
and as artists of the maternal experience, and how the creative
practice is used to accept, negotiate, resist or challenge
traditional conceptions of mothering. The book brings together some
of the major projects of maternal art from the last two decades and
opens up new ways of conceptualizing motherhood as a creative and
communicative practice. Chapters include intergenerational
discussion of art practices in the 20th and 21st centuries,
representations of breastfeeding and infertility in creative
projects, the notion of the 'unfit mother' and childlessness,
together with the experiences of women and men that take on
maternal identities through many forms of kinship and social
mothering. The Maternal in Creative Work will be essential reading
for interdisciplinary students and scholars in cultural studies,
gender studies and art theory and will have wider appeal to
audiences interested in maternity, childcare, creativity and
psychoanalysis.
