I have been making work with my children Ted (born 2018) and Ralf (born 2023) since 2021, under the collective title Did you know the sun is just another star? - both a question and a fact proclaimed by Ted one day, on our walk home from daycare.

To Ted, this piece of information seemed just another new idea in a mountain of new ideas that avalanche on him daily. As we went about our afternoon, me in orbit around him with the routine of dinner; bathtime; bedtime, I had the thought: “Just another son.”

Working with textiles and ceramics, I make work with contributions from my children that compares outer space and the universe to our intimate, personal family and home.

This project examines my version of motherhood: it is a practice in observing how I work with my children, how I honour their creative expression, how we negotiate as a family, and how I hold all of this to create works of art that may or may not be exhibited and shared.
