Object Women Intertwined 01 lamp by Laxmi Hussain

London-based artist Laxmi Hussain explores the journey of motherhood in works on paper and on a series of upcycled lamps, which she uses as canvases to explore her own experiences. She sources the lamps on eBay and other marketplaces, rewires them, then paints tangles of female bodies on the shades in cobalt blue. “These women are gathered, free in their bodies, enjoying a moment,” she says. It’s a sentiment that feels liberating this Mother’s Day.
