Tears of Joy, Tears of Frustration: Exhibition for International Women's Day 2006
"When the brothers are playing together there are tears of joy, when the brothers are fighting, I cry tears of frustration."
"Sometimes you've just had enough of a child and you just want to strangle them, then they do the cutest thing and you just want to cuddle them." Mothers from the Single Mothers Lunch Group

"I chose happy, angry, sad, depressed and hopeful, though I still give a lot of love. The sadness is about the kids being grown and you have a lot of regrets - maybe I should have done this or that. At the same time I know I did what I could". Alex, Spanish-speaking Mothers Group
"Motherhood is life affirming on the one hand and frustrating on the other. The bars are my prison of love for my children." Maryvonne, Melton Young, Pregnant and Parenting Group
