Midlife crisis, marital rift, kids night out: This Mom Was Tired of Being Left Out of Family Photographs—So She Staged Her Own
Midlife crisis, work flow, and marital rift, kids night out ...... Susan Copich facing a situation of self-division. This group of photos will be on display in New York.

Things were going pretty well for Susan Copich: She was getting work as a commercial actress, studying photography on the side, and living in Manhattan with her husband and two daughters. But then her agent stopped calling, and things seemed less than ideal. Her marriage 'no longer felt shiny,” her kids seemed to have grown up oveight, and she felt 'irrelevant” and middle aged. More importantly, she realized, she was 'missing from every family photo.”

Copich decided to correct that, and to investigate her inner, darker thoughts about life as a mother and wife in her series, 'Domestic Life,” which will be on display at Umbrella Arts Gallery in New York City starting Nov. 5.
