In European fashion, we take 3 weeks of vacation. In the meantime, we share a single group post : "woman makes art, woman makes child, child makes mama, mama makes art..."
Make a joy song. Whatever that means to you at this moment. How is a song different from a picture or a poem or a show? How do you reach the depths of your joy? What covers it? How does it escape you, etc.

Consider the intricacies and complexities of the relationship between you, the other parent and your child. I'm not asking for a portrait of your child's other parent (unless you are burning to make one), but rather an investigation of the triangular tension that forms in that he making of a child with someone else, weather they are still in the picture or not. And if you need some restrictions: please include push & pull.

My son is 3 today. I have been surprised to find how vivid my recollections are and how emotional I felt as my partner and I related by the clock what we were doing at that time 3 years ago as I passed from pregnancy to motherhood. My question for you this week is: What was your first impression of your child? What was the first thought you had specifically about your child when you held them for the first time?

Please transform your toe(s) into character(s), and recreate a film dialogue that you can't wait to watch with your grown-up kid (your insta can be a photo, with dialogue in the text if you prefer). you can use a toe of your child of course. If it's a video, Super bonus is if u can do it in French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, German... but of course I'd love to hear you speak french!!

Reflect on self-compassion as a mother artist. what about the way you are in relationship with yourself? As you toil in the home realm and art realm, how does a practice of kindness come in? How does treating yourself with compassion affect your art making? How does leaving that out alter your days?
-Whitney Lawless
Without letting them do it, make a piece of art in your child's "voice." Either who they are right now, or who you think they will become.
