44.4 exhibition title:
Now I Know What Nothing Is
Inspired by a photograph in Patti Smith’s A Book Of Days: Smith sits in a chair, she is lost in thought, a distinct heaviness to her gaze. The caption reads: ‘This is just thinking of nothing. I remember my mother sitting like this. And I would ask, what is it Mommy? And she would say, Oh nothing. And now I know what nothing is.’

My piece title:
Hours Between Us
This work explores four themes of motherhood through the experience of parenting my child part-time. The data visualizes time lost and shared with my daughter. Each colour represents hours per month: the clock symbolizes possible time together, the school: her hours in education, work: my employment, the heart: our shared moments, and the crystal ball the time remaining before she reaches adulthood.

Some pictures from the vernissage of @44point4 ‘s new show last night. I couldn’t be prouder of the show we put together. It was so wonderful to see my fantastic colleagues after a year away and to see all the work in person and so beautifully installed at @artimageetespaceodyssee.

4 MORE DAYS UNTIL OUR VERNISSAGE!

Our new show “NOW I KNOW WHAT NOTHING IS” will be opening this Thursday September 17th and we would love to invite you to our Vernissage from 6-8pm at @artimageetespaceodyssee

The title of the exhibition, Now I Know What Nothing Is, was inspired by a photograph published in Patti Smith’s A Book Of Days*, a book containing 366 images from Smith’s life. In this image, Smith sits in a chair, chin in the heel of her hand. She is lost in thought, a distinct heaviness to her gaze. The caption accompanying the photo reads:

This is just thinking of nothing. I remember my mother sitting like this. And I would ask, what is it Mommy? And she would say, Oh nothing. And now I know what nothing is.’

The photograph and accompanying reflection resonate powerfully with our collective. As mothers, we too know what nothing is. It is all the things we can’t share, speak, articulate, or even find words for. It is a moment of love so overwhelming and powerful that we can’t remember who or what we were before it. It is wishing time could both stand still and hurry up. It is not wanting to hurt, scare, or burden our children with what we feel. It is the feeling of too many things to do, of being paralyzed and not knowing where to start. It is a moment of peace. It is thinking of everything. Nothing is in fact everything, and everything is exhausting and overwhelming.

UPCOMING EXHIBITION:
@florencia.paper

“Let me take care of you,
let me hug you,
let me show you
everything I have to make you very happy

I gift you my legs,
rest your head on them
I gift you my strengths,
use them when you have none

I gift you the pieces
that make up my soul,
may you never ever lack anything
I will love you until I die”

This snippet from Carla Morrison’s song “Te regalo” perfectly explains the unconditional love I have for my daughter. The “why” behind every decision and every sacrifice I’ve made since she was conceived.
