‘Bad Mother’ by rensala

‘Bad Mother’

by sculptor Freddie Robins at the Saatchi Gallery exhibition ‘If not now, when’. Her works are predominantly knitted I think. She wrote: “I am constantly frustrated by the small demands of everyday life that when added up take up so much of my time... I go into my studio everyday even if it is just to look at what I am working on and to try to keep my head in the right space. I wish that I could care less, be a lighter, more free-spirited person. I wish that I could ignore the things that needed doing and concentrate on the things that I wanted to do.”
There are some pieces of art that I just don't understand.

@wakelys - understood, it is a bit stark; we had a very moving explanation from our guide about the piece, and it made sense in context of the whole exhibition

I like the shadow detail. It’s an interesting read on this particular piece.
I found her very interesting.

I love the shadows, not sure I like the art though. Seems she had a bad childhood ;-)

I do agree with the artist’s frustration about the demands of everday life but I suspect that sentiment is shared with a lot of other people.

I'm not quite sure what to make of the sculpture, but I love the shadows!

Nice words!

Like the pov with the shadows - I sort of get the frustration. I would love more time for my photography, but family life takes over (as it should) hence my garden photography.
