'Universal Mother: Made for Arolsen', Museum Bad Arolsen, in Bad Arolsen, Germany, in 1997 was Sheehan's first solo museum exhibition marked by the a catalogue documentation of the series. Set in a former prince’s bedroom in this baroque style residential castle, Heather Sheehan created an experiential environment from a sculptural trio which calls into question the power roles within the concept of a universal family.
