I was asked by the co-writers of the incredible book Designing Motherhood: Things That Make and Break Our Births to contribute a series of photographs about the ‘pregnancy pillow’ for their publication, released in 2021 by MIT Press. An afternoon of sculpture-making followed in which I had to physically wrestle with, and at other times, gently nudge, this object into position/behaving. I was surprised at how quickly the pregnancy pillow became an emotive, anthropomorphized creature of sorts, which made me laugh at some moments, and made me lonely at others.
