​Modern Love; Mother Care by Rachelle Ymay Skilling 

September 6th-October 24th

 

"Modern Love; Mother Care" is an exhibition that delves into the modern dynamics of a traditional cis family living in the suburbs of Calgary, Alberta. The exhibition explores "Mother Care," which encompasses both the care directed towards others and the essential care for oneself. It juxtaposes the outward expression of maternal love towards the family with the inward focus on self-care.
