There's no such thing as a baby, she says

MFA graduate thesis, available as a .pdf online here.

March 2019

There's no such thing as a baby (Briggs 2019), meaning a baby is never alone. I think about "baby" and its relationship to beginnings, and also its dependency on "mother". Could this project be about origins? This is a collection of texts written towards the questions of who and what I am with and where these things come from.

It considers the context and interdependence of my practice on multiple levels: with ideas, people, materials, methods, history, and inheritance.
