Gorgeous work by Spilt Milk Member Nadia Nizamudin @nadianizamudin Nadia Binti Nizamudin is a visual artist, working primarily on textile painting and mixed media collage. Her artwork focuses on found, reclaimed or recycled materials and is always represented by bold and bright colors. Both her collage and textile painting carry narratives around loss, relationships and hope. She always prefer to use found images and recycled or reclaimed items for her work, feeling that they add to the story and character of what she is trying to express. . . . . #spiltmilkmember #collage #painting #artmalaysia #internationalart #recycledart #foundimages #colourpalette #friday #motherhood #breastfeeding #mothersinart #normalizebreastfeeding #socent #supportingmothers #mixedmedia #gallery
#Repost @swamigwen with @get_repost ・・・ Inspired by Louise Nevelson’s dramatic fringe of eyelashes, Golden Drapery cord certainly made a wonderful cascade of eyelashes into a waterfall. I’m very aware that I started with Louise Nevelson as a reference but ended up channeling Kiki Smith. #LouiseNevelson #LaurieWilson #lightandshadow #fakeeyelashes #falseeyelashes #femaleartist #studioresearch #eyelashes #waterfall #wip #studioprocess #artstudio #workinprogress #gwencharles #swamigwen #makearteveryday #makearteverydamnday #dailyartpractice #studiopractice #voicesofwomen #womensstories

Delighted to introduce our latest member @libbymcfalls_artist Elizabeth McFalls (Libby) is a Professor of Art and the Department of Art’s Art Foundation Coordinator at Columbus State University. She received her MFA in Print Media from Cranbrook Academy of Art (MI) and earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design (OH). Libby’s love of storytelling began in childhood. Having been raised in East Tennessee, she attended the National Storytelling Festival on numerous occasions. She recalls summers spent developing a love and appreciation for oral storytelling; she and her sisters were fortunate enough to spend a great deal of time with extended family that spread five living generations. While her work does not make direct reference to her family history, she creates nonlinear visual narratives that examine issues of loss and family. Her work explores moments that blur the line between fact and fiction, life and death, humor and sorrow, moments that demonstrate the contradiction and complexity of life. At the moment she is busy, in the studio, completing a one-year Artist Residency in Motherhood (ARIM). Her work has been included in numerous exhibitions nationally, including the Athica Athens Institute, Jaffe and Friede Gallery, Hopkins Center, and the Cade Center for Fine Arts. Recently she has presented in sessions at SECAC, the Southern Studies Conference, and FATE. Additionally, she serves as the VP of Programming for Integrated Teaching International and was elected as the VP of Communications for Foundations of Art: Theory & Education FATE). It's a pleasure to welcome you to Spilt Milk Libby!

#Repost @xavierhufkens with @get_repost ・・・ Louise Bourgeois: “Art is not about art. Art is about life, and that sums it up.” - 'The Family' is a series of twelve drawings of a couple in gouache: a round pregnant figure and a man with an erect penis. Depicted frontally with a cluster of five breast-like elements around her neck, the mother figure appears self-contained. The erect phallus of the male figure intruding from the side indicates sexual interest and affection but also threatens to puncture the huge ballooning belly of the female figure. - #louisebourgeois #family #xavierhufkens
Mothers with reasons to sob should do it in groups in public and wait for offers #jennyholzer @tate . . . . #lategram #truisms #london #tatemodern #textbasedart #installation #holzer #artistrooms #mothers
#boobsmakefood is a participatory project by @sarahirvinart that provides a tool for considering breastfeeding from the perspective of food production and consumption. This sticker features nutrition facts for breast milk. Any lactating human can place the sticker on their bodies or clothing in a location visible while feeding their child in order to accurately and publicly contextualize themselves as part of their local food system. Participants are encouraged to post images of themselves feeding their child with the nutrition facts clearly visible using the hashtag #boobsmakefood The ability to breastfeed in public is inherently included in the right to access public spaces for lactating people and the infants they are feeding. The right to access public spaces should not be confined to the amount of time between the infant’s meals, which can be as short as 2 hours.* Specific groups of people should not have a time limit placed on their right to access public spaces. Non-lactating participants are encouraged to use the sticker to visually consider their understanding of breastmilk and post images to social media using #boobsmakefood. *Many public spaces do not provide sanitary areas specifically for breastfeeding, and public bathrooms are not a solution. It is not sanitary to eat a meal in a public bathroom, and therefore these spaces are unacceptable space for feeding a person of any age, including a breastfeeding infant. Having handed out many stickers from our recent exhibition, we still have several available. If you would like to participate get in touch to collect a sticker from us, or to arrange to have one posted to you if your in the UK! For more information about the project you can contact @sarahirvinart Look forward to seeing your photos! . . . . #breastfeeding #breastfeedinginpublic #breastfeedingart #milk #humanmilk #foodproduction #lactation #participatoryart #breastmilk #boobs #supportingmothers #edinburgh #scotland #globalartproject #artistproject #breastfeedingawareness
