I’m beginning with some research into Birth and breastfeeding. I’ve looked at clinical texts and adisory books for parents.
I can’t help linking everything i research to my own experience of child bearing and birth – so I’m just going to go with it and see where it leads.
There was a recent symposium at the Whitechapel gallery about childbirth in art, so I’m optimistic about there being a current interest in the subject.
I have found the ‘Birth Rites Collection’
www.birthritescollection.org.uk
Which also has some beautiful artwork looking at the experience of child bearing, I’ve contacted Helen Knowles who set up the collection so am looking forwards to a conversation with her within the next couple of weeks.
