50 Revolutions by Helen Hiebert
$875.00
50 Revolutions represents the fifty revolutions I've taken around the sun and my evolving thoughts on motherhood. It stems from the bouts of isolation and inadequacy I feel as a mother, so again I reached out to my community seeking fifty words about mother/motherhood and realized how similar the journey is for all of us. The book includes a Mapping Motherhood print and a miniature Mother Tree. Each of the fifty rings in the print, like the rings in a tree, contains one of the words, hand written. These words are the topography of motherhood: survival, mystery, constant, awakening, home.... A miniature Mother Tree sits in the middle of the print with two single strands of crocheted mother's milk representing this thread that has flowed through mothers since the beginning of time.
