Mum's Not the Word is a collection of photographic images depicting women who do not have children and their reflections on what this means to them as individuals. Raising questions of identity, social constructs, the concept of what it is to be a woman and how stereotyped behaviour is influenced by various factors, both external and internal, such as the expectation around having children and the impact this has in an era of environmental crisis.

Mum’s Not The Word was conceived because it’s often suggested that women who do not reproduce are selfish, do not like children or are not real women. I photographed the childless, child-free and childless by circumstance. The women are all in the foetal position, as a reversal of the recognised visual of the unborn child.
