This collection is a tribute to the talents of these artists, who have been touched by adoption. Four Pieces Flax and Fessler are adoptee artists. Flax is chiefly concerned with adopted children's pre-adoption fears and fantasies and how adoption and birth status function as categories of prohibited cultural meaning, Fessler's interest is focused upon understanding her adoptive family and her place within that particular dynamic. Works reflecting the self and our unending search. This site, The Demeter Project, contains a folio of fourteen images created by Barbara Franks-Morra, a birthmother and artist.
