What To Expect
When You're Not Expecting

Louise Ashcroft

Artist Louise Ashcroft revisits her acclaimed autobiographical meltdown about turning 39 and realising she’s forgotten to have children.

Two shirtless white men with light brown hair are standing together mirroring each other with their back shoulder and heads touching facing forward with eyes closed; their back arm extended backward and the other extended forward both in prayer position with one another. Their faces are painted with exaggerated contour and overlined red lipstick. Behind them are hanging pictures on a black background; biggest image on the left shows a white woman with wavy blonde hair in a yellow swimsuit, face down on the beach with the calm shoreline behind her; above her there is white text that reads ‘your eyes, they strove’. The other smaller images on the right show various abstract image with blue and orange colours.
