A Philly artist's 'Milkscapes' fabric pattern honors mothers

In 2016, artist Aimee Koran — who had recently given birth to her first child, a daughter — accidentally spilled breast milk in her studio while pumping.

Dismayed by the accident, she went to throw away the sheet of transparent mylar film where the milk had spilled only to notice the abstract image the dried milk created. It was beautiful, almost ethereal, and somehow otherworldly. That’s how Koran’s series of images titled Milkscapes came into being.

Koran, now a single mother to 6- and 10-year olds, explained that Milkscapes was “made by pouring a small amount of my breast milk onto a sheet of glass.” The milk dries in abstract shapes, “highlighting an otherwise invisible labor.” The glass is then photographed and printed to billboard scale.
