Bjørkamedlem Katharine MacDaid sammen med Cheryl Newman har utstilling i Schaeffers Gate 5 som åpner kl. 17.
Katharine MacDaid and Cheryl Newman both photograph their mothers or rather make photographs with
their mothers. For both of them, it is the act of photographing that is important – “it is to embrace our
relationship in a way that I haven’t since my childhood”, says Newman, and for MacDaid, “it is an act of
both affection and awareness, it is an intimate gesture from a position of distance.” MacDaid and Newman
have separately been photographing their mothers over many years, making portraits whenever they
visit them at home. It was while teaching together in Oslo, that they discovered this shared endeavour; a
search to uncover and connect with the women they each call mum.
