I created a material study of my own breast milk with the idea that the milk is food and contains food. In these studies, the food from which the milk originated is now blooming in it, both microscopically and very visibly. These material studies glitched the ritual of making milk, feeding, eating – a process repeated many times daily, over and over. Repetition with variation, purposefully confusing the directionality of cause/ effect in order to make it both at once.
These material studies were translated into paper weavings. Displayed as a mobile, the weavings reflect the nature of blooming, overlapping without obscuring each other. Bloom expresses language as a fabric, compressing it, so it can coexist in the same place, at the same time — or in a different place at a different time.
