Breaking In Two

"To the artist creating art is not a career choice:
It is an all consuming quest.
What happens when the artist becomes a mother?"

In the feature-length documentary BREAKING IN TWO, Sabine Sighicelli, a mother herself, meets with a cross generational group of influential women artists and authors, including Linda Vallejo, who have faced ever-changing personal and political challenges to keep their art alive, their children healthy and their heads above water.

Although books have been written on the subject and some films have profiled non-commercial artists & writers who are also mothers, no film has focused solely on the artist mother’s dilemma in the modern world.   Art more than anything is a vehicle for change -- What is unique about “Breaking in Two” is, while exploring the implications of combining motherhood with art, it actively brings together 3 generations of a diverse group of artists, authors and educators who will reflect on their experience as mothers in the arts and artist-mothers through the creation of work.

Finally, this group will work together to create a gallery happening in Los Angeles that challenges societal perceptions and representations of motherhood through the visual, written and performing arts.
