Sheridan continues to examine the depths of maternal experience with an intensity mirrored across vibrant paintings, layered collage works, and a three-story fiber installation in this new body of work. Transcending pure representation, this work invokes abstract landscapes charged with a reclamation of the color pink; intimate and nurturing yet powerful in its ability to defy standards of femininity and the status quo. Drawing inspiration from the concept of “the quickening,” a moment during pregnancy when fetal movement begins, this concept serves as a versatile metaphor for moments of acceleration, intensity, and profound change across various domains of human experience.
