Overview
Ever wish you had a clean-cut way to make your roommate clean their pizza bits off the couch? Or a way to motivate yourself into replacing endless procrastination with something resembling work? One brilliant Sydney artist has found the path to this domestic Eden in her art.
In a ridiculously adorable mother-daughter story that has 'Where You Lead' blaring in my head, artist Brenda Samuels has produced Paintings With Mum, an exhibition at Marrickville's Airspace Projects gallery that emerged from a "domestic-artistic arrangement” with her daughter, Miranda.
Seeing her mum struggling to find time to paint on top of looking after her and the house, Miranda concocted a motivational payment system, where eight hours of washing, tidying and cooking would earn her one oil painting from her mother — leading to at least one painting each week.
The Paintings by Mum exhibition has been curated by Miranda and has the feel of a domestic take on Andy Warhol. Expect Milo cans, Coles Smartbuy packaging and a big ol' heartwarming.
