Current SVA Graduate candidate, Angela Shaffer, has created a series of work based on collaborations with her young son. They reenact and imagine moments of tension or affection in spaces in their home. The images depict Shaffer's attempts to shape and mold her son into the person she thinks he should become. Riddled with anxiety for the future of her son, this body of work expresses her need to be a good mother.

The exhibition will be on view at The Sheldon in St. Louis, MO from October 7th - January 21st.
