My artwork illustrates a relationship between the mother/artist and her child. As a Czech woman, artist and video-maker living in Ireland who has given birth to a baby boy and who is rearing him in Ireland, I make something that arises from the challenge of that lived experience. I aim to create an original piece of video art, at times humorous, at times serious, and at times surreal, exaggerated, and slightly strange in style, intended not so much to disturb the viewer as to puzzle or intrigue him or her, in the way that Czech folk tales and Czech animations of the 20th century did through an intermingling of reality, dreams and feelings. I hope that this will provide a deeply personal experience for the viewer and for myself as an artist.
