Becoming a mother of two children further inspired Clayton's creative drive and she devised for herself an ''Artist Residency in Motherhood.'' The residency took place within her home and was fully funded by various organizations, including the Robert C. Smith Fund, the Betsy R. Clark Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation, and the [[Sustainable Arts Foundation]]. An artist residency situated within the family home "subverts the art-world’s romanticization of the unattached artist, and frames motherhood as a valuable site, rather than an invisible labour." Works produced during this time include: ''The Distance I Can Be From My Son'', ''All Scissors in the House Made Safer'', ''63 Objects from My Son's Mouth'', ''Women's Intuition (hats)'', ''Moons From Next Door'', and ''One Brown Shoe,'' they are archived on-line at www.residencyinmotherhood.com.{{Cite web|url=http://residencyinmotherhood.com/|title=residencyinmotherhood.com|website=residencyinmotherhood.com|access-date=2016-03-05}} Works from Clayton's ''Artist Residency in Motherhood'' were exhibited at [[Pittsburgh Center for the Arts]] in 2012, in ''Complicated Labors,'' curated by Irene Lusztig & Natalie Loveless, at [[University of California, Santa Cruz|University of California Santa Cruz]] in 2014, and in ''State of the Art''{{Cite web|url=http://stateoftheart.crystalbridges.org/?s=lenka+clayton|title=lenka clayton, Search Results|website=State of The Art|access-date=2016-03-07}} at [[Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art]] in [[Bentonville, Arkansas|Bentonville]], in 2016. |
