Lesley Patterson-Marx - Artist Statement
The path of motherhood has converged with my path as an artist. I cannot separate the two, so naturally my images have become an extension of my psychic and bodily experiences as a mother. I create images of lactation that connect the breast to the Earth. The breast has become the Earth, a nurturing, sustaining, and powerful mother who produces storms and sun, drought and growth. I have drawn plants within the bodies of people in antique photographs. They are our ancestors and we are all a part of the history of the Earth, a continuing cycle of plants, animals, and humans, passing through the stages of birth, death, and regeneration. The rabbit, who shows up often in my work, is a well known symbol of fertility, but she also tells the story of time escaping. She embodies the vulnerability and fears that new parents and children feel together. The Earth is our vulnerable and powerful mother. We, her children, have inherited these same qualities.
