Context:

Post-Partum Document consists of a six-section, 135-part multi-media record of the first six years in the mother–child relationship, Kelly documenting her own relationship with her son. Kelly used memorabilia from her relationship to her own child and inserted them into social discourses such as motherhood, feminism and psychoanalysis. The parts are called Documentation I–VI and are respectively entitled: ‘Analysed Faecal Stains and Feeding Charts’, 1974; ‘Analysed Utterances and Related Speech Events’, 1975; ‘Analysed Markings and Diary-perspective Schema’, 1975; ‘Transitional Objects, Diary and Diagram’, 1976; ‘Classified Specimens, Proportional Diagrams, Statistical Tables, Research and Index’, 1977; ‘Pre-writing Alphabet, Exergue and Diary’, 1978. The objects she used were baby clothes, nappy liners, scribbles, casts of her baby’s body, her own diaristic records of her feelings on the child’s development, all refracted through the statistical-like framework of conceptualism to create an archive of desire, not only for the child as emblem of phallic wholeness, but also for motherhood itself, which is an idealised (phallic) position that women attempt to occupy under patriarchy.
