It was an indulgence she couldn't afford; Motherhood demanded this sacrifice. As her child grew, influenced by Matricentric Feminism, and working with a feminist concept of intersubjectivity, \"how to care for another and one's self\", she began carving the time to explore her role as a mother and artist. Finding the quiet moments between the intense days of working and mothering she began to photograph their everyday. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Holding Place is a meditation on the physical, psychological, and political landscape of Motherhood. The small world they inhabit, the recurring daily routines, the scant time available, and the intimacy of the mother-child relationship all shape the work. In The Holding Place, the personal and political blur as the artist engages in a raw and honest dialogue, exploring the emotional complexities and challenges of motherhood. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmma O'Brien's 'The Holding Place' was launched at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tsundoku.ie\/\"\u003eTsundoku Art Book Fair\u003c\/a\u003e, during PhotoIreland Festival 2023, on Saturday 15th July.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished by PhotoIreland \u003cbr\u003eDesigned by Ángel Luis González Fernández\u003cbr\u003eSet in ABC Diatype and Millik \u003cbr\u003ePrinted by KOPA on Arctic Volume White 150 gsm; cover on Omni Silk 200 gsm\u003cbr\u003eFirst Edition of 500 \u003cbr\u003eSoftcover \u003cbr\u003e124 pages \u003cbr\u003e260 x 320 mm \u003cbr\u003eISBN 9781999739430\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PhotoIreland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53660775153995,"sku":"THPEOB01","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/files\/TheHoldingPlace_EmmaO_Brien01.png?v=1685111179"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/collections\/books-0-vat.oembed","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
