Carrie Mae Weems culminates her landmark Kitchen Table Series with an ode to motherhood.

In 1990, Carrie Mae Weems took 20 black-and-white images at her kitchen table, a traditionally female space that has not been celebrated enough in art. The overhead bulb sets the stage in each photograph, where a host of intimate domestic scenes and social dynamics unfold.

In Untitled (Woman Brushing Hair), the artist sits at the table with a mother-like figure while a quiet act of love plays out. In a text from the original installation, the artist writes: “Seeking clarity and purpose, she spoke about the problems with her momma.” 

A tribute to home, intimacy and community care, this limited edition print channels the power of women's work and collective memory.

Life is pretty messy stuff. Can we use this space, this common space known around the world, to shine a light on what happens in a family, how it stays together and how it falls apart? What women have to be and what men have to be, because you’re always struggling for equilibrium. Somebody always has the upper hand. Every once in a while, you get stasis. If you’re lucky.
