A few years ago I discovered Charlotte’s work and excitedly got in touch when I realized she was in Toronto. Originally from London with a long stretch in New York, it turned out she was only a few blocks away. Our studio visit turned into the loveliest friendship, with unfortunately very little photo evidence because we meet in the forest to walk our dogs and talk about life entirely disconnected from our devices. I’m so thrilled to have a work of hers on 9TH. The way she uses colour and explores nature is meditative and enigmatic in a way I can’t quite put to words. Plus, two of my ultimate obsessions — painted on Mylar and framed to perfection.

MOTHERCLOWN: When I look at this image I see so many layers all at once. Artistry, philosophy, experimentation, and collaboration. I know “no one reads captions”, but I’m choosing to ignore that. We’re going long-form:

Rachel Crummey’s large scale artwork leaning on found bricks is titled ‘Diotima’. The piece is named for the prophetess in Plato’s Symposium who taught Socrates that love is neither a god nor a mortal, but rather a daimon, a spirit or connective tissue bridging the human and divine.

The artwork itself is made in collaboration with Reishi mycelium. Canvas is painted on, then layered over h**p seeded with living fungus. Over months, the mycelium grows on and through the surface, leaving behind evidence of the matrix now lying dormant in the work.

The sculpture by Noe Kuremoto has an equally poignant story — but a major shout out to Jennifer from Vessels + Sticks to set the stage. A week before the exhibition opened, she emailed to say this sculpture would be a perfect addition to Motherclown. It was on display at her gallery, but she felt the artist and her vessel were so closely aligned with the exhibition’s thesis that it had to be included. Jen saw the connection and acted on pure generosity.

Osaka-born Noe Kuremoto is a ceramic artist living in London. This work draws from ancient Jōmon fertility vessels and reconsiders motherhood as transformative and contradictory rather than fixed or serene. Through clay, a material that holds pressure, memory, and rupture, these talismanic forms build new symbolic language around fertility, fear, and becoming.

Lastly, this killer plinth is by none other than KNAUP and will be available on 9th Editions very shortly. Stay tuned, and thank you for reading along.

Motherclown: The Exhibition is on at AMCo () new location in Roncesvalles until June 16th. Curated by Ash A.

A truly interdisciplinary collaborative effort that has been an immensely rewarding experience.

A huge thank you to all involved — a dream project.

So much of the way I have come to better understand my own experience of daughterhood and motherhood has been through art — fiction, nonfiction, visual art, and music.

, who had run an interdisciplinary literary and art magazine in Paris for many years, approached me about curating a show to coincide with the launch of her fifth book Motherclown that was set to come out the following year. Its central focus was the relationship between a mother and daughter. Over the following year the conversations I had with Harriet about the book and with artists about their own daughterhood and/or motherhood have been nothing short of transformative. I will forever be grateful to Harriet for this brilliant invitation, her deeply moving novel, for the artists who have shared their work with us, and for for her space and thoughtful collaboration. We cannot wait to share it with you June 2 - June 16th, 2026.

Sending love to all on this Mother’s Day🌷

39 🎈As any cultural aficionado might note, birthdays reliably invite reflection. This year has been one of change and recalibration — though my fixation on artists, research, and big ideas remains firmly at the centre of what happens at 9th Editions. My work focuses on discovering emerging artists and placing thoughtful contemporary pieces into the spaces where people live and gather.

Looking ahead to 2026, alongside new curated Editions, we’re developing a series of collaborations with stellar partners. The projects are ambitious and absorbing. I’m looking forward to sharing more as the year unfolds, with a continued focus on people, experiences, and a departure from the expected.

Thank you for being here.
