I have heard the creating of art compared with giving birth. A comparison that sounds good at first glance but that really does not stand up to scrutiny. As far as I know, no woman, after going through pregnancy and child birth has ever heard a midwife say
‘nope, that doesn’t work for me, Maybe you should start again?’
or
‘Why don’t you try adding an extra leg?’.
Michelle Hunter-Gray is an artist who works in mediums ranging from photography and performance to found objects. She often uses both text and humor to make sly comment on society.  She is particularly interested in the experience of middle-aged women in a society dominated by a youth obsessed media and consumerism aimed at a 15 to 25 demographic.
