Significant Other 2020

Porcelain, glazes, gold luster

Did you know it is extremely common for mothers to eat their young? Rabbits, cats, primates, and even the common hamster will devour their offspring, in most cases because they are weak or sick. This gives the mother nutrients to raise healthy babies or to get pregnant again. Shockingly, in recent years due to climate change, polar bears have been observed to eat their cubs, when their regular source of food (seal) is in short supply.

Mother Knows Best 2020

Porcelain, glazes, gold luster, mother of pearl luster

𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘉𝘦𝘴𝘵 explores the relationship between a mother and her offspring, often a complicated balance of love, guilt, and resentment. The two figures are anxiously reaching out to each other, conveying a sense of trust. Yet there's a dark undertone, suggesting something more sinister might be afoot.

The phrase 'mother knows best' references the well-known story of Norman Bates, while the visual of two figures reaching out to each other pays an homage to E.T.
