Hibel’s lithograph incorporates themes central to her artistic activity: humanity and nature. Rendered with drawn marks and subtle tonal washes characteristic of stone lithography, a tender representation of motherhood is centered within a frame of vignettes, suggesting the complex and dynamic natures of life. This portrayal of intimate and quotidian acts of maternal care shifts the private—and often gendered—experience of childcare and maternal labor into the gallery space for public consideration. (JB)
