About the Work
In Doubling, Devra Fox explores the deeply transformative experience of matrescence—the physical and psychological journey of becoming a mother. Through this drawing, Fox reflects on the surreal and complex process of pregnancy, where one body multiplies into two, each simultaneously developing and transforming, yet forever bound to one another. The drawing embodies the intricate and inextricable connection between the two bodies: one emerging from the other, creating a visual narrative of growth, transformation, and the perpetual coupling of mother and child. Fox’s choice to focus on this duality speaks to the expanding sense of self that occurs as a new life grows within, and the equally expansive emotional and physical shifts that unfold postpartum. The work encapsulates a moment in time that is both intimate and universal, suggesting the continuous evolution of the body and mind, and the paradox of separation and unity. Known for her meticulous graphite drawings, Fox uses a monochromatic palette of gray, red, and blue to evoke both the quiet meditative nature of this process and the charged emotional terrain of motherhood. The work asks us to consider not only the physical embodiment of emotion but also how our identities and bodies are forever altered by the relationships we form—with each other and with ourselves.
