Cuerpo de Leche (Body of Milk)

Interested in family histories and the symbolic associations of materials, Juliana Góngora Rojas embarks in long-durational, labour-intensive processes to create intricate sculptural objects. Cuerpo de Leche (Body of Milk) is the result of several years of trial and error in her quest to weave a textile from a delicate thread made from milk. Working with scientists as well as traditional weavers, Góngora Rojas gradually understood the particularities of this common material, very rarely used for art making since its organic nature makes it unstable and prone to decay. She finally mastered the technique, creating threads that must be woven immediately before they lose flexibility and become brittle. The resulting textile is shaped after the tombstone of her grandfather and is placed on a bed of rue, a herb that in her native Colombia is believed to have cleansing properties.
