How did a working artist mother of a newborn and a pre-schooler manage her studio practice in the year of the Covid pandemic? In Fun House, Madeline Donahue’s first solo exhibition outside of New York, and the first solo exhibition to concurrently feature her ceramics and painting practices, motherhood is depicted as a topsy-turvy and often humorous contortion of bodies, spaces, and emotions. Praise Shadows Art Gallery, itself a gallery borne from a working mother pivoting during the Covid-era, is thrilled to celebrate the complexities and joys of motherhood vis-a-vis Donahue’s idiosyncratic style.
