Milk Lines
Dimensions 54x32x0.7mm on a 45cm chain.
This is a new body of work exploring the complex network of breast ducts and lobules. The experience of breast feeding and sustaining the life of my child has initiated my exploration of these sites on the female body. I have been drawn to three dimensional medical images of the lactiferous ducts within the complex structure of the upper body. Abstracting these images to create textures on the metal surface, brings to the outside the beauty and intricacy of the inner workings. My intention for the pieces is to express the fragility and beauty of the breasts ducts. Worn close to this external site focus is drawn to the inner architecture of the female form.
