From the traveling exhibit Mother.Culture. / Currently showing in Sacramento’s Phantom Gallery through January 2008. / Contact Rachel Valley to make an appointment for a private showing. Mother.Culture Page _Support in a mother’s immediate family is crucial to success. If one member is not on board the breastfeeding relationship becomes vulnerable. This portrait also touches on the “family bed”. Western Culture has told us that sleeping with our children is bad in every way. I challenge this way of thinking with depicting the family bed as a sanctuary, and to be reassessed by western culture.

In my experience balance between these forces keeps all in the picture

Ever since babies have been born, parents have looked for a convenient way of traveling with their children. From slings to pouches, babies have been transported in a number of ways.The idea of a baby stroller first came into being with a man named William Kent. He was a garden architect in England who had become very well known for his work. In 1733, the Duke of Devonshire asked Kent to build a means of transportation that would amuse his children. Kent obliged by constructing a shell shaped basket on wheels that the children could sit in. This was richly decorated and meant to be pulled by a goat or small pony. Kent’s idea caught on and soon other royal family owned similar contraptions.In 1840, the baby carriage became extremely popular. Queen Victoria bought three carriages from Hitchings Baby Store. If you wanted to be part of high society, you had to own a baby carriage. The carriages of those days were much different than today. They were built of wood or wicker and held together by expensive brass joints. These were sometimes fancy and became heavily ornamented works of art. Models were also named after royalty. Princess and Duchess were popular names, as well as Balmoral and Windsor.(wikipedia.org)

This picture was taken in 1979 in a remote Black Lahu village on the Thai-Burmese border. The mother, Amy-Sor, is obviously proud of her healthy first daughter, Na Fa. I was living with her extended family at the time in her village, Ban Huoy Hea, which was 6 hours walk from the nearest road. I took the picture with a Nikon FM2, Nikkor 50mm 1.4 lense, using Kodachrome slide film. Natural light. It is one of my favourite shots.

An Akha mother wears a traditional silver headdress as she breastfeeds her young baby and appliques cloth that she will stitch into clothing. At night, she wears her heavy headdress, beads and jewelry to bed. Her babies cap is also decorated with silver coins and glass beads. The Akha, one of the most exquisitely dressed peoples in Asia, are one of several tribes that live in the mountains of China, Thailand, Laos and Burma. Traditionally they were opium growers and animists, believing in a myriad of spirits that share their mountainous world. This woman had recently moved her village from Burma into northern Thailand to escape persecution and seek new land for their fields when this photo was taken in 1978.

With it being Pink Ribbon Month, I know many Redbubblers are doing pieces of art specifically to raise awareness for breast cancer. I, also, wanted to add my name to the list of artists doing something special for this cause. You may or may not know that breastfeeding, while infinitely beneficial to the child, cuts the risks of getting breast cancer (along with other wonderful benefits for the mother – not the least of which is calorie burning and not having to get up in the middle of the night to make bottles). I don’t have the statistics here – be sure to look them up if you’re interested, but I know that breasfeeding mothers are at less risk of the dreaded disease than mothers who do not breastfeed their babies. I am extremely pro-breastfeeding, for many reasons. But, I like to point out the “selfish” ones, because so many women are under the impression that it is an inconvenience for them to breastfeed. I consider the outrageous prices of formula and sterilizing bottles to be much more of an inconvenience, thank you very much. But, now I’ve stepped onto my soap box…I’m quite passionate about this. But, what could be more important than insuring better health for not only your child, but also giving yourself the added benefit of protecting your health as well! It’s a win, win, win, win, win, win…. you get the idea… situation! I’ve also added a bit of symbolism here, pointing to Mother Earth, oneness with nature, and nourishment – both physical and spiritual – on a world-wide, big picture scale. This magical composite scene features me and my son; all my own photos and textures were used. I have breastfed all my babies, and I can attest to the wonderful bonding that occurs between mother and child. If purchased, all proceeds for this piece will go to cancer research uk.
