A bold, uncompromising and thought-provoking exhibition exploring an unfiltered and often unseen side of motherhood is at Warrington Museum and Art Gallery from 8th March - 19th May.
The solo exhibition follows the photographic artist’s award-winning entry into Warrington Arts Festival’s Open Exhibition in 2022.
Lāsma, a British Latvian who lives in Todmorden, won First Prize for a bold image of herself with her baby daughter Esme – described by judges as ‘powerful, honest and confronting’.
Her new work will continue to explore the themes and challenges of becoming a parent and the ‘metamorphosis, evolution and recovery’ involved in the journey from womanhood to motherhood.
Lāsma feared that her emerging career in photography would be hindered when she became a mum in 2022.
Instead, she found challenging the ways motherhood has been traditionally portrayed and exposing the hidden realities of becoming a mum a ripe subject matter and one that continues to resonate with others.
Exhibtion (8 Mar 2024 - 19 May 2024) |
