Mothersuckers Project

Mothersuckers is a project arising out of the collaboration between Zoë Gingell and Eve Dent, drawn from their personal and artistic responses towards motherhood and pregnancy, which have developed, into ideas for a new approach to their usual practice as artists.

There is a particular focus on the reappraisal of one’s own body, as a dual conduit of connection and separation, of oneself in relation to an ‘other’ imagined yet real being, growing within and the psychological and emotional connections involved within an essentially shared physical relationship.

"Since our meeting, we have found an exciting and enlivening point of discussion of ideas around the pregnant body, the psyche/self and the breast as a symbol of both connection and separation, questions around a relationship that whilst being mutually functional involves an emotional and psychological evolution through the medium of a physical journey.”
