Caretaking often brings about a profound shift in perspective. Artists who become parents or caretakers may find themselves noticing different aspects of life, experiencing emotions more deeply, and seeing the world through the eyes of their children. This shift can deeply enrich an artist’s practice, offering new perspectives, themes, and sources of inspiration, while also shaping their approach to time management, adaptability, and community engagement.

This gathering of works by artists that are in this dual role brings interesting works and perspectives in a variety of print media, and innovations, related to how artmaking is accomplished alongside caregiving.

We all can equally identify to the juggle and joys of responsibility, closeness, commitment as expressed by these artists through their work and life stories.

Exhibition curated by Anne Burton and Melanie Finlayson, where discussions during an artist residency of their similar situations sparked these issues and the value of time.
