The photo, taken by her husband Jim, was a throwback from last May, when her babies were five weeks old. On Facebook, it has received over 7,000 likes.
#tbt 5/19/15 when my #twins were 5 weeks old and despite the sleep deprivation and frequent (every 2-3 hours, 24-7, 45 min at a time) #breastfeeding, I was still getting shit done. *#MarinaAbramovic thinks children hold women back in the art world, but as @dubz19 put so aptly, "FUKKK THAT". All Marina k**ws is her own experience, and it may be true for her, but that is **t everyone's experience **r truth. Becoming a #mom (of twins ** less) has personally helped me become a better #artist - I learned to be extremely efficient with my time, prioritize what's important and let go of the rest, and #multitask like a champ. *I learned to function (even if barely) on very little sleep, and out of the chaos, insanity and even torture at times, a flood of new emotions entered into my work, becoming more interesting & layered as a result. *I'm also **t saying that artist parents are better artists than **n-parent artists, or that choosing **t to be a parent will deny you access to these learning experiences. *What I am saying is that parenting is like any other challenge in life - the biggest fucking challenge in my own life thus far - and if you embrace it and figure out creative solutions, you can emerge a better person. *It's important to think about the ways in which these challenges can help you move forward, rather than hold you back. *#artistmom #tandembreastfeeding #multitasking #heinkoh #greenpoint #brooklyn #nyc Read more...
