UPDATE - I have all the moms I can handle for now, so the form is closed. I will reopen it if I have funding and time to add more women to it. For now, I have lots of work to do! If you want to follow the updates about this project, subscribe to my SUBSTACK.

Liquid Gold is a project born in my mind three years ago, coinciding with the birth of my oldest daughter. This initiative aims to shed light on the often unseen labor involved in breastfeeding, which can amount to as much as 1,800 hours annually—equivalent to a full-time job. This includes nursing, pumping, cleaning equipment, and managing the mental load of maintaining an adequate milk supply. By addressing this "invisible labor," the project intends to elevate breastfeeding mothers, acknowledging their commitment to their children and advocating for the recognition and support they deserve, especially in a climate where women's rights are increasingly under threat.

The project seeks to highlight the experiences of mothers currently breastfeeding through a series of artistic and community-driven efforts. The first step will involve an open call to recruit at least 10 breastfeeding mothers. Participants will be photographed and interviewed to share their personal insights.

If you want to participate in this project, please fill out the form.
You need to be a current breastfeeding mom.
Be able to come to my studio to get your picture taken, or live within a reasonable distance of the Bronx, so I can come to you.
