Ani Liu, Untitled (Milk fat globules), (2022), Microscopic imagery, printed custom cut aluminum panel. Photographed at Ecologies of Care, Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space by Brad Farwell. "Pictured is a portrait of my breast milk, with imagery layered from my microscope and camera. I chose a scalloped edge for the image because it evoked the shape of nursing pads, bra pads, pasties, and anatomical illustrations of mammary glands. My curiosity is piqued by the cultural associations between flower shapes and breasts, the many layered informational exchanges through breast milk, the sincere, tender love I feel from breastfeeding, along with the exhaustion (and mastitis, the bites, the leaks, the many unglamorous realities) of performing this embodied labor. Layered and contradictory, like most of life." - Liu

"Milk” 1950s Educational Film History of American Dairy Industry Milk & Cheese, Periscope Film, YouTube. This 1956 educational film was produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films and is a revision of an earlier EB film. “Milk” shows the progress of the dairy industry in the United States. It tells the tale of how pioneers began by moving westward with their own dairy cows, how we changed the cow itself to encourage it to produce more milk, and how we changed the industry and our homes to maintain this product.

I remember this fact: mother’s milk is blood passed through a filter. Blood that used to circulate through the veins and arteries and is then converted into milk
