Was it a Mother Who Named the Milky Way as She Nursed Her Child Under the Night Sky?

2022, Found fabric, Vintage cast Queen Anne’s Lace, 40 x 45 x 5 inches.

The tightly stacked fabric mimics a string of milk droplets and the hazy galaxy above. The center of each droplet contains a vintage Queen Anne’s Lace paperweight. This flower shares eerily similar shapes with mammary glands.
