In “SORRY I GAVE BIRTH I DISAPPEARED BUT NOW I’M BACK, photographer Andi Galdi Vinko (@andigaldi) explores the tension between motherhood and creativity, between motherhood and time, between motherhood and society, in clever, relatable diptychs and striking standalone images that capture both the absurdity and power of becoming a mom. Published by @trolleybooks and @tjboulting, and with a foreword by MT contributor @omfgnoway, the book is a kind of homage to the confusion, frustration, and elation, that comes with new motherhood, as we all fumble to figure it out, before re-emerging into the world anew. “How can something so universal as motherhood be so lonely? How come we all have to experience it and there are no answers to all those struggles? What about our bodies, our hormones, our thoughts, our friends, our loves? Our careers, our homes, our dishes, our laundry, our sexual desires?” Vinko asks, “What happened to our freedom, our showers, our sleeping hours?” #mothertonguemagazine #andigaldivinko #photography #motherhood #art #tjboulting
