Testimonials
“Sensuous without a trace of coercive sentiment, embodied without burden, Amy Shuckburgh’s delicate yet bold and vivid images of motherhood manage to evoke a portrait for our time that avoids the twin pitfalls of idealisation and punishment.”
“Your pictures are remarkable - such a good depiction of modern day motherhood! You somehow manage to capture that feeling of peace despite living in exhausted chaos. They’re really lovely, you should be very proud. ”
“Your work is beautiful and actually moved me to tears, I am far from being an art critic but I found this series to be so tender, sensitive and capturing so well those bittersweet (and often unwitnessed!) moments of motherhood. ”
“Intimacy and constant movement are emblems of a mother’s work tending young children, activities still often performed solely by herself. I am moved by the depth of emotion and conveyance of maternal caring articulated through the ease of Amy Shuckburgh’s art of fast-moving lines and kaleidoscope colors. ”
