The Philip Portfolio takes a political and subversive look at motherhood. It lays bare the feelings and emotional conflicts that lurk beneath the societal veneer that women are encouraged to maintain at all costs.

The artist traces her struggles over an extended period of time. A myriad of mediums are employed in the interest of getting the material out in an honest and direct way. Scale is relatively small, a reflection of the need to achieve continuity within a limited amount of available studio time.
