Figuring maternity: Christine Dixie’s Parturient
Prospects
Prof. Brenda Schmahmann
In
this paper, published in the journal de arte no 75, Prof. Brenda Schmahmann
provides a close analysis of three of the sub-sections of the exhibition
‘Parturient Prospects’ – The Interior, Birthing Tray and Parturition.
In ‘Parturient
Prospects’, the author reveals, Dixie situates her
experiences against Western discourses, especially images from early
modern Europe.
