A Tide Kept at Bay

Madison-based artist Dominique Haller presents A Tide Kept at Bay, an exhibition that explores the tension between the empathetic practice of mothering and the normative construct of motherhood through domestic materials reminiscent of the pliable and permeable nature of the human body. Her work makes room for affective ambivalence as it aims to unsettle set notions of what it means to mother.

A Tide Kept at Bay will be on view from February 11 to March 4, 2017, with an opening reception on Saturday, February 11, 7-9pm.
