Delighted this Image has been included in a new publication.”Women of Today in the gaze of Artists”By Barbara Polla Published by @editionsslatkine in French

Heres an extract from the book originally written in French so this maybe a clunky translation.

After the ecstasy, the loneliness of everyday life. Mothers in the eyes of artists? A gaze full of contradictions:  mothers enjoy giving birth, then disappear, swallowed up by daily life, their loneliness and their responsibilities. Contradictions that Jenny Lewis, artist photographer takes head on. She enjoys photographing her social environment. She photographed one hundred and fifty women in their homes, in the first twenty-four hours after the birth of their child. A celebration of women in transition.  Jenny Lewis tells of the strength of women after childbirth, a strength which, in her opinion, is largely ignored in today’s world
