COMMUNITY: THE ART OF BEING A MUM INTERVIEW SERIES

'The Art of Being a Mum' Interview Series, by Alison Newman, cultivates honest conversations with artistic and creative mothers who are passionate about continuing their work, no matter what. This month, I was honoured to deep dive into my motherhood journey as part of Alison's interview series where we covered the mother/artist juggle, matrescence, ‘mum guilt’, identity and more.

The journey to becoming a mother in all its phases and fullness has informed my practice over time. Matrescence for me feels like the process of learning and unlearning. A shift like the seasons and huge period of growth. Throughout it all my artistic process feels both independent from and gently interwoven with myself as a mother. She is muse to me, and I am muse to myself. Motherhood has expanded my being. - Rachel Charge
