Kyle Hawley in front of two prints in progress. Left “Sometimes a Blanket, Sometimes a Cape” and right “Sometimes a Picnic Blanket, Sometimes a Fort.”

Kyle Hawley takes on the often hush-hush topic of Motherhood to unfold the tools of that calling inbued with the range of inherent emotive colors. Using mono-printing techniques, Hawley prints directly from cloth utility accessories and garments which she designed and created to assist in mothering. The seven images are life-sized, contemporary statements that unfold Motherhood’s time, energy, joy, grief, whimsy, and purpose.

Kyle writes: “These images are pressed from my indispensable set of tools. I employ them to bring my best self to the job and identity of Motherhood. They have been folded and unfolded many times and across many places to provide comfort, play and practical use. Motherhood is my great gift. It is an honor and a challenge. I too have been washed in color, pressed, folded, unfolded, and reimagined in the pursuit of Motherhood.
