Latex - made from a cast of alginate, and modroc.
Breast Coat: the 'Great Nurturer / Comforter'. Supports relationship, connection, becoming, being-ness - YIN.
In development from 'Breast Blood' - I am wanting to make a coat out of breasts, to somehow maximise the potential of Breast, and the atmosphere she/they create(s). Like an archetypal positioning or force-field. Something was revealed to me through the making of 'Breast Blood' (this conversation between my breasts and my menstrual blood) - the capacity or
essence of 'breast' to bring healing, nurture, and comfort.
It reminds me of the book: 'The Chalice and the Blade' which explores patterns of domination and how they evolved in society. The Blade dominates through 'power over', force and control. The Chalice through partnership, nurture, relationship and 'being with'.
The conversation between breast and blood (and feet and mud) is still developing....
The making of the coat stalled by the lockdown, unable to access materials atm.
