"THE OTHER MOTHER" - DISTURBING THE "EVIL" STEPMOTHER MYTH

T h e O t h e r M o t h e r

Disturbing the Myth of the Evil Stepmother. June 12 - July 12.
The Other Mother, Karen Piovaty's best known and socially relevant
artwork, promotes conversation and reflection; provokes both
vilification
and vindication. If it does, in fact, take a village to raise a child.
The artwork confronts this contemporary village to examine the
motives behind victimization, vindictiveness and excessive litigation.
The origins of The Other Mother spring from Piovaty's own experiences as a
stepmother, second wife and adult child of divorce.
