MOTHERHOOD AS A TIMELINE
A collaborative project curated by Cindy Cavanagh, working together with photographers worldwide. It's a celebration of motherhood from early pregnancy to great grandmother. It's not a definitive collection; it's a stepping stone to a new narrative around motherhood. Every summer, we see scarcity and fear that there are only 18 summers with our children. As they grow and evolve, so does our mothering. It doesn't end on that 18th summer, so let's not fear it. Let's see the change as an abundance and expansion of our hearts. New people come into our children's lives like friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, partners, spouses, and children, and with each new love in their life, our heart grows too. There's room in our mothering for the changes that come as we get older. This series is a timeline to show motherhood through its stages…and there are many, many, more.
Thank you to the 32 artists from 12 countries who shared their art, words, and version of motherhood. This project is a thread connecting our stories from all over the world, one that I hope will weave and grow into a more extensive collection.
