When Women Artists Choose Mothering Over Making Work
Hello, Genetrix readers!
As promised, this newsletter is extremely occasional, with an average of only one issue a year.
Today I'm writing to share with you an article from T, The New York Times style magazine, When Women Artists Choose Mothering Over Making Work.
I'm writing on my phone and figuring out how to make that text a link has already occupied more of my attention than I'd like, so I'm just going to paste it (it's a gift link):
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/01/t-magazine/mothers-artists-working-women.html?unlocked_article_code=1.C00.rxhj.eyxL7Xz0PZgG&smid=url-shareIt felt urgent to share this with you. As my current professional project winds down and I decide what to do next, I find myself with a marked lack of ambition and it's been a balm to read about creators like Patti Smith and Rihanna not trying to force creative work out of themselves while mothering.
I hope in this season that can be a season of too much, that you find some time to recover yourself, give yourself grace, and create only in the way that feels right to you.
♥️ Kimberly
