Dawn Yow is a photographer who uses the camera as a autobiographical tool to explore the roller coaster that is motherhood. She documents the seemingly banal, the visceral, the private, and the raw moments highlighting the trials and tribulations of life with children. Her images chronicle the theatre of everyday childhood and all its attendant emotions, following the peaks and troughs of domesticity. They also bring to the forefront the discomforting moments that deserve to be honoured alongside the shining ones in the spectrum of parenthood, and in doing so, aim to peel back the artifice, challenging and puncturing the idealized and sterilized myths of motherhood. Originally from Canada, she is currently based in Liverpool, where she juggles creative escapades and parenting.
