Hugh Lane Gallery
Maureen Fleming's "Mother and Child" Installation (2016) was presented in the Hugh Lane Gallery for the Fulbright 70th Anniversary Celebration in conjunction with a panel discussion during Fleming's Fulbright Ireland Commission. . Using a doorway as a frame, the video was projected through a rear projection screen giving the illusion of the archetypal feminine figure floating in the doorway.
Maureen Fleming's "Mother and Child" is a poignant study of the female body and its relationship to the universal soul's journey. Archetypal and genuine, the work plumbs the depths of human experience, touching the essence of our inner life. The video, created through a series of performances intended to embody Fleming's original choreography for stage, has been used with Fleming's live performances, depicting co-existing levels of reality. However, Fleming's Installation "Mother and Child" clearly stands alone as a motif of Fleming's unique visual art theater "both mother and child in one." The Villiage Voice
