Milk Font/Milk Vessel

Video Installation

2007

The work was born as a site-specific response to the Florence Trust Residency. It appropriated the iconography of the architecture at Florence Trust by filling the church font not with holy water, but with a rich, thick, velvety white liquid that evoked an eerie sense of timelessness. The work was consequently adapted for a gallery context and titled Milk Vessel, where the video was projected into an ice container.
