Maternal Aesthetics is not pictures of mothers and children.
ima as a research method is used in my current artworks, thus, forms a continuity and a 'bridge' between the research and the next stage.
'ima' initially was derived from 'invisible mother-artist' and the word 'mother' in Hebrew, my language of origin. This method was used in order to deconstruct the cultural constructs Motherhood and Artist, as well as Kibbutz childhood. Today 'ima' stands for 'in-visible mother-artist'. This method is still used in a new PhD research at Loughborough University.
