Gallery
In the Shadows of Your Home is an invitation to witness the often-unseen rhythms of care that quietly pulse through domestic life. From sleepless nights and sticky floors to fleeting moments of exhaustion, laughter, and grief, this exhibition honours the labour, maintenance, and emotional depth of mothering. Featuring four artists, Setayesh Babaei, Bethany Kenyon, Amber Lee Williams, and Deniz Kanbal, and curated by Rachelle Wunderink, the exhibition reflects on the layered realities of care-taking, where care is constant, consuming, and deeply complex.
Each artist approaches mothering and carework from a distinct perspective within their practice. Babaei explores the importance of rest, allowing her artistic practice to follow the tender, demanding cadence of caring for an infant. Kenyon reflects on the act of re-mothering herself while taking care of her child. Williams reckons with the invisibility of domestic maintenance and the way it can render her presence ghostlike within the home. Kanbal’s practice takes a more abstract form, shaped by fragmented moments of making that emerge in the margins of mothering.
Together, the artists move through their artistic practice, foregrounding care, maintenance, and feminised labour as integral to their work. In doing so, the exhibition invites viewers to pause and consider: who is doing this work in your home? Join us for our mid-exhibition reception on February 21 from 10am-12pm! We’ll have kid-friendly activities, including Saturday morning cartoons and a weaving workshop. Enjoy plenty of breakfast treats, from cereal to donuts.
