Erene Dellaporta

Erene has a multidisciplinary, interactive and participatory practice that explores women’s experience of birth and motherhood and how society understands the post-partum journey. 

The relationship between mother and child is a core focus. The bodies of mother and child are bound together and appear to merge: the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan described the relationship, jokingly, to be like an omelette! The tangible and material transformation of a mother’s body, her changed sense of self and her often loss of or rebirthed identity are paramount.
