AN ARTIST RESIDENCY IN MOTHERHOOD
motherwork began in April 2018 as a self-imposed artist residency by Emily Koonse, a mother and award-winning artist working in film, video and still photography to explore narrative formats around motherhood and identity. As an effort to reconnect to her own personal story and artistic expression after giving birth at 40 years old and moving back to her hometown, the residency served as a research and development phase with which to engage with different women-centric communities in preparation for launching this online publication and community.
Her narratives reveal truths about nature, place and self. She works in abstract imagery, experimenting with analog and digital art techniques to examine storytelling with an emphasis on exploring personal subject matter and the natural world. Recent projects include award-winning documentary "Lost Child?" and the Missouri Photo Workshop photo essay, "Debra's Second Chance." View some of her projects here.
***Note: as of December 31, 2018 the artist residency is officially closed. Emily's motherwork projects can now be seen at:
