The works in Mothers Unearthed show how mothers re-experience and witness environmental (and social) catastrophe. They excavate and reinscribe the meaning of protectors as mothers. The fear, anger and cautionary hope is palpable in each of the pieces. Each work shows how these different crises impact their children. It's horrific to contend with what kind of world our children will inherit, what we leave behind."
