Caroline Walker: Woman’s Hour BBC Sounds, Radio 4

Caroline Walker joins Anita Rani on BBC's Woman's Hour to discuss identity shifts, domestic realities, and the value of caregiving.

The Scottish painter explores the complexities of motherhood in her exhibition Mothering at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester. Walker began engaging with maternal themes following the birth of her child in 2019. Her works incorporate everyday details—such as breast pumps, baby garments, and unfinished beverages—underscoring the often-invisible labour inherent in contemporary parenting. Increasingly autobiographical, Walker’s paintings feature her own children and family life in Scotland, offering a candid exploration of maternal experience.
