Milk, a substance tied intimately to the nourishment and labour of mammals, symbolises both sustenance and sacrifice. Its processing and industrialisation obscure the visceral realities of production, much like societal structures have often abstracted and devalued the contributions of women and female-identifying individuals. By shaping milk into bodily, organic forms, these sculptural works critique systems of commodification whilst celebrating the labour inherent in the material and the bodies it represents. Patriarchal narratives are challenged by making visible the history entwined in acts of creation, sustenance, and care. 

The question of how to contain a living, flowing form is answered through fabric moulds which allow the material to swell while staying free from constraints. Just as milk sustains life, the act of sewing speaks to the preservation and care linked to the nurturing qualities of the material. Accepting the properties and idiosyncrasies of the material, this technique allows for pieces to always retaining a sense of fluidity. When the cast liquid dries to solid, from soft to stone-like consistency, the fabric is peeled off. As seams and stitches are delicately imprinted onto the swollen surfaces of the tender, feminine sculptural forms, the memory of fabric remains, a permanent reminder of the materials’ living, flowing liquid origins.
