Jedda Daisy Culley: Working on one side with my children and on the back solo the Sun Heart Dress represents a deeply traumatic and spiritual moment my children and I shared.
The nature of the ink forced us to respond rapidly. With no time to second guess, this creative process is one I felt represented the urgent clarity amidst chaos required to save my child’s life.
Using horsehair brushes, the medium of ink on silk shares a long history with the ancient Chinese practice of calligraphy. By undoing the ironically soft image of a mother cradling her child, the kids and I processed our shared feelings into something else.
The black and white ink drawings that I am further developing in the studio seek to dismantle short-sighted views of what nurturing looks like. Through them, I expose the black-and-white duality of motherhood as a fierce and brutal, soft and warm symbiosis of parallels.
