Drip Jewelry
I started working with my breastmilk in 2020 through a series of photographs titled Milk Diaries. It began three months postpartum as a way to document life, postpartum anxieties about motherhood, life in COVID19 and intense waves of grief of over the loss of my mum.
In the height of the pandemic, I came across breastmilk jewelry and I could really resonate with this yearning to preserve the raw and beautiful journey that is breastfeeding. I could also make a connection between my own grief and how everything I do in my art practice revolves around keeping the relationship with my mum alive. I began to cast her objects in my breastmilk/resin, as a way to preserve her memories and physicality through my DNA. This work means a lot to me and I would be truly honoured to work with you to preserve your own story through motherhood and all it’s winding roads.
Contact me with any questions or custom work. I look forward to hearing from you. Stay tuned for more options in the shop!
