Join the reception for artist Christine Mitchell Adam's solo art show, 'I Am Your Playground', at Pierson Library on Sunday, September 17 from 3-4:30 pm. The exhibit is hosted in the first-floor hallway and the reception will be hosted there and in the community room at the end of the hall. Kids are welcome and there will be light refreshments! 'I Am Your Playground' explores the shifting sense of self and identity as a parent/caregiver within the lens of play. As a parent, your body is often at the mercy of your child's play and exploration. You become a jungle gym to climb, a bridge to crawl under, a pony to ride on, a doll to dress up, a road to drive cars on, or playdough to manipulate. Through my drawings, I depict a variety of these very physical identities while also exploring the emotionality of them. There is the mental, emotional, and physical toll of the invisible labor of caregiving and parenting. Simultaneously, the fierce love and connection that is built through physical touch and being the safe space that fosters your child's expansive imagination.
