Process:
Upon watching the video
And reading the text I
Was confronted with
Images of stark mortality
And creamers, dairy cows and
Female role modeling/identity and generational relationships.

Being held to concepts or ideas
Or a place.

Initially, I tried to find an
actual photo I took of a 1950s
blk and white cow dairy
Creamer I had taken in 2017.
Then I thought I would re-render
Water-color found images
Sourced from the internet. However I
Was so compelled by other people’s collections of ways to connect
w/ cream as a substance that I

wanted to use the actual image files
I hoarded from my google searches.
Then I did a couple of gestural
drawings which entered my mind
while watching the video assignment.
