Catherine Newton, Khôra 30 (detail), 2020, cast coldworked glass, steel

Khôra 30 captures the intangible space between mother and child, highlighting areas of closeness and intimacy through depth and light. Representing my interpretation of intersubjectivity where the mother moves freely neither all dominating nor completely self-sacrificing. The concept of intersubjectivity not only gives the mother her own sense of agency, it also allows for infinite forms and textures of relationship between mother and child. Khôra was created from a plaster form of me and my son hugging.
