Bad Mother / Good Mother is an audiovisual performance involving a projection, a modified electronic breast pump as a sound generator, and a sound-reactive LED pumping costume. The project has four songs that critically explore technologies directed specifically at women like breast pumps and fertility extending treatments such as egg-freezing (social freezing). Depending on the song, the breast pump is either a solo instrument or part of an arrangement. The idea is to use workplace lactation as a departure point to uncover a web of societal politics and pre-conceived perceptions (pun intended) of ideal and non-ideal motherhood.

Abstract
In the early 20th century, Orissa, a province in British India, was marked by dismemberment and fragmentation. Nationalist leaders in colonial Orissa often portrayed the province as a disfigured mother to evoke nationalist sentiment among the Odia people and garner support for the unification of the Oriya-speaking tracts in adjacent provinces to form a separate and complete Orissa province. One painting from the period depicts a woman representing "Mother Orissa" being dissected on a table by an Englishman and surrounded by wolf-headed figures representing Bengal, Madras, and Bihar, who were opposed to the idea of Orissa's unification. However, these leaders were careful not to create an environment of coercion and sought to allow for expressions of difference to foster a healthy national life. One way they did this was by trying to unite intrareligious groups in Orissa while also calling for the need to bring together people of different regions living in Orissa. Additionally, they balanced their allegiance and devotion among three mothers: Mother Orissa, Mother India, and Mother Victoria.

The deHavilland Fox Moth is probably not as well known in northern aviation history as the Fokker Universal, the Fairchild or the Norseman of its time or, indeed, the highly successful deHavilland Beavers and Otters that followed. Nevertheless, it is a part of northern aviation history, providing transportation and supply links that contributed to the post-World War II development of the North. . Out of the 53 Fox Moths that were built in Canada, 7 saw northern service. Several of these crashed, ending their final days in the North. In 1977, a local Yellowknifer initiated the concept of restoring a Fox Moth to its original condition using parts from various known crash sites. Although there were some skeptics, the idea soon caught on. With the assistance of Aero Arctic Helicopters and the Government of the Northwest Territories, parts of the aircraft were retrieved from three crash sites - the project was under way. . Early in 1987 a group of aviation enthusiasts in Yellowknife, many of whom were connected with the Fox Moth project since its inception, banded together to form the Fox Moth Society. The aim of the society was to ensure that space was added to the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre to accommodate the Fox Moth. Many individuals and companies came forward, donating financial, human and material resources. . The Northern Aviation Gallery was officially opened on 17 October 1987 in the presence of such notables as Max Ward and Stan McMillan, a fitting tribute to the early bush pilots and their crews.
