Anita Johnson: Murmuring

Bronze cast of the artist’s ear and her son’s ear, felted wool, cotton, and thread — bronze casting, stitching, and felting. – Anita Johnson’s art practice centres upon repair and the shared experiences of longing and belonging, disjuncture and union. In women’s lives, these things are felt acutely in motherhood. This artwork expresses the bond between a mother and her child, between Johnson and her son. variable
