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.
