Research Initiative Opening Reception: February 11, 5-9 pm  Mujer Flor, 1993 Gouache on Arches Paper, 30" x 22 Breaking in Two will feature a multi-cultural group of four generations of nationally and internationally recognized artist-mothers selected to represent the multi-faceted and changing realities of motherhood.

Breaking in Two will include various trends and styles of painting and drawing, sculpture, collage and assemblage, installation, photography, film/video, performance art, and poetry/writing.
