The Sleepover Club: How Motherhood Effects Creativity With Maisie Cousins

The Sleepover Club: How Motherhood Effects Creativity With Maisie Cousins

This week on The Sleepover Club, we're joined by artist and photographer Maisie Cousins! After facing the first year of motherhood in the midst of a global pandemic, Maisie sits down with us to discuss how becoming a mum has changed her creative process.


From what mainstream discourse misses out on when it comes to juggling raising kids and being an artist, to how the idea of 'having it all' has evolved in the age of the girlboss, and if conversations surrounding inclusivity leave motherhood off the table. Maisie will also be chatting to us about her changing relationship with social media, mess, finding the headspace to develop her work when bringing up a baby, and much more.


The Polyester Podcast is brought to you by Polyester's founding editor in chief Ione Gamble (@ionegamble), and co-hosted and produced by Olivia Graham. Polyester is a self published culture zine exploring intersectional URL feminism in the IRL world. Have faith in your own bad taste!
