dc.description.abstractMotherscape, the MFA thesis of Jayne Matricardi, explores the psychological landscape of motherhood through paintings, video, mixed media and poetry. The exhibition shines light on hidden struggles of motherhood, investigates the metaphor of mothers as beasts of burden, questions motherhood myths, and reckons with the concept of scientific motherhood. Motherscape also creates a refuge of meditative space where challenging and contradictory aspects of motherhood may be heard and held. The exhibit was displayed in the Gillespie Gallery at George Mason University in March 2021.
