My new work is focusing on the relationships between the dairy industry (boobscape), the collection of ‘co-products’ such as foetal-bovine serum, placental tissues, slink leather from foetal bodies (slink), the demand of these foetal tissue and blood products in cellular technology in particular in-vitro meat and bio-fabricated leather.  Using my pre-existing sculptures, and new forms, I will trace the connections between these industries, as well as continue my focus on the broader environmental impact of the dairy industry, in particular the leaching of excess nutrients into the waterways/water table.

I just got boobscape documented for inclusion in the forthcoming book Animaladies, Bloomsbury Press, 2018.  Hopefully one of these ends up on the cover of Animaladies!

latex troubles …

Posted on by

no matter how many notes I make – the weather, the latex age/batch, and just who knows what  … conspire to affect the outcome – and most times these unknowables and uncontrollables are most welcomed – but when I really want a certain density / thickness to be reached so the boobs can hold their form without padding, and twice the casts have come off the mold too thin …  it’s just too annoying
