Five Minutes

thisplace. (2014)
thisplace. is a new media series exploring the realities of motherhood. A mother is camouflaged in each portrait, and the sitters have titled their own portrait. I created this body of work to open an honest (and non-judgemental) conversation about what it's really like to become and be a mother. All the works were informed by the anonymous responses and thoughts I received from mums.

This photographic series was originally shown at Town Hall Gallery (Hawthorn) with 2 performance films, an interactive installation, emergency sweets for parents, plus colouring-in, toys and a black board for the kids.
