'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.

[Well] Not Being - Collaboration between Anna Makrzanowska and Yonat Nitzan-Green
There was an opportunity to use a shipping container as a studio space as part of Landed project at Loughborough University March 2020.
I wanted to test a performative drawing, entitled 'Maternal Grid', in collaboration with Anka.
Specifically I am interested in the quality of elasticity in drawing.
The drawing is made of graphite powder, latex, threads, fabric and chalk powder. When dry, it is peeled off from the surface on which it is made - a foam sheet similar to a floor padding. Marks and drawings made on this surface with silver ink are transferred to the drawing.
