Featured Artist: Sunny Belliston Taylor
April 6th, 2012
"This body of work represents my recent and continuing transition to motherhood. I had a baby. I am navigating new and foreign territory daily. I have new limitations on my time, and space, and materials for art making. I have new roles and priorities to fulfill, new hopes, insecurities and fears.
The paintings of nests and derivatives thereof are my admittedly clichéd attempts to express what it feels like to become a mother for the first time. They symbolize my idealized notions and misperceptions of, and my adaptations to the reality of motherhood. They represent feelings of identity lost, new roles gained, inadequacy, hope, and complete contentment. All of these works, above all, represent my recognition of the beauty of change, in whatever form it may enter our lives." - Sunny Belliston Taylor
