Artist Statement
I wanted to make work that looked at the ritual of cleansing. In our house the bathtub is part of a nighty ritual before bed, but like every activity in our house it is not a private affair. This image shows how virtually impossible physical space is as a mother of small children. Liminality is created through the use of breastmilk; a cleansing, healing, nourishing potion, but also the very thing that often leads me to feel ‘touched out’.

Artist Statement
I paint what I know. Sometimes it involves communicating perceptions, relationships, and feelings too difficult for me to put into words. I'm inspired by depth, continuity, love, faith, and multi-generational connections, the most meaningful things we have, and sometimes what we lose. There is a certain forgiveness of myself I must practice each time I paint. Raising a family with six children at home and caring for a mentally ill parent means that painting sessions are reduced to blocks of time lasting an hour or less. Painting in this manner reflects my current life circumstances in hurried brushstrokes and imperfections that reveal my most authentic voice.

Artist Statement
Crystal Ann Brown is an interdisciplinary artist/mother/academic currently working in
Buckhannon, West Virginia. For the past 9 years, her work has focused on holistically
blending art and life. This blending of her studio practice with her daily life also touches on
its inherent challenges. In her words, “my love/hate relationship with my kitchen might
manifest in my drawings and paintings that celebrate work and the labor of love with a hint
of fury and frustration shown in the economy of line found in blind contour drawings.” Her
practice strives to reveal the underappreciated aspects of mothering and everyday life
through the use of textiles, sculpture, time-based media, social practice and drawing.

Artist Statement
<p class="p1">I’ve been a working artist, curator, community activist and teacher for more than 25 years, creating and producing intimate solo performances, large-scale public happenings, socially engaged interventions and performance art workshops and lectures. My practice extends across black boxes and white cubes, art fairs and subway stations, international festivals, and single bathroom stalls. I’ve operated an artist-run newsstand in a vacant subway station kiosk, a soup kitchen for artists, a breast milk tasting bar, and a performance festival hub for kids. I’m forever inspired by the rebel queers, renegade witches, and other dyke moms I run with, and bound to many brilliant artists, activists, spell-casters and healers. <span class="s1">For many years I made performances that drew from my own experiences of trauma and transformation, intimacy and motherhood. More recently, I’ve experienced a shift in my practice, where my attention has turned to wider theoretical questions about the nature of performance itself to </span>ask questions about when, where, how we perform - in theatres and galleries, on social media, and in our everyday lives.</p>

Curatorial Statement
"Milk Portrait #3" is from a series in progress of women who have covered their faces instead of their breasts in protest to admonishment that they should cover up while nursing in public. Common explanations for discomfort with breastfeeding include milk itself as an abject body fluid, or an inability to view breasts outside the scope of sexual gratification. Yet I see this discomfort strongly tied to the cultural diminishment of human interdependency and intimacy - both of which are severed and obscured by the nursing veil.

Artist Statement
Aimee Gilmore's latest body of work is a result of her recent discoveries in motherhood. The works are a collection of imagery and objects that reflect the process of archiving a routine (like breastfeeding) through its most essential material and highlights the communication between mother and child through abstraction. It is through this collection that Gilmore begins to viscerally relate the abstract nature of motherhood to the unpredictable nature of breast milk, a material that exposes and emphasizes the necessity of letting go. Gilmore seeks a more thorough and vivid understanding of her own labor as mother by making works from the generative processes of her own body.

Curatorial Statement
In celebration of Women’s History Month, Rockaway Artist Alliance honors women and women artists of our generation.<br /><br />Madison Ohmane Artist Statement: Artificial Human Milk The disconnect between mother and infant. The mother’s milk is removed from the breasts with a machine, it is transported, it is cooled for preservation, it is stored and readily available for consumption at a later date, it is consumed by the infant every 3 hours in her presence or not. The direct relationship between mother and infant is removed. The process becomes mechanical. The milk becomes a product. The mother’s milk becomes artificial. When the mother/infant relationship is diminished, what is the end result? What happens when the infant is removed from the mother’s womb and placed in an artificial environment? What happens when the substance made specifically for the infant is replaced with something artificial? When does science take a step back and let nature resume its course? Or not? This work, Artificial Human Milk utilizes familiar plastic milk jugs and infant bottle nipples to represent food as commodity. The objects are placed at eye height to confront the viewer’s relationship with their own children; with their own mother.
