In No-Work Work Fail I attempt to reconcile the absence of art making in the postpartum period with the desire to remain working. Rather than withdraw from exhibiting with ‘nothing to show’ I offers my experience of working on not-working to the audience. In the recording you can hear sounds of my young child as I describe the conceptual process of not-working. The installation of No-Work Work Fail, a simple A4 printed sheet taped to the gallery wall, was influenced by the limitations on time and travel of new motherhood.
