"I believe it's important to open discussion and develop new pathways for mothers and work towards eradicating the stigma of maternal mental health." - Amy Dignam Founder of Desperate Artwives and curator of the 'The M Word' exhibition "One thing that i found about motherhood is that it really does have a way of breaking you but also making you" - Mo Ade Founder Mother of the Maternal Journal "Must she always be loving , caring, perfect and ideal? Must he always be passive and take the role of the victim? Can a portrait of mother and child depict a spectrum of emotions rather than a singular feeling as the mother-child theme was narrated in classical iconography? What will be the impact on our society, if the mother will be allowed having mixed emotions towards her child and the child will also be allowed to take a different role than victim?" - Leni Dothan "As I look back at this work, these big babies sometimes it's not even him, it's me as well and i feel that when we have children and we face them they reflect us back the whole time." - Sophia Marinkov- Jones Katy Howe "Motherhood is all you perform and it's an all consuming role.My children call me by my first name, they call me 'Dawn'... it feels weird for them to call me 'Mum' so i guess in a sense, I perform motherhood but it's hard for me to embrace it" - Dawn Yow
