Mother’s Milk is about motherhood and maternal exhaustion. Throughout the performance, Campbell wears her late mothers wig and a dress she constructed from a 1950’s sewing pattern. The fabric is handmade and covered in written words about her experiences with postpartum anxiety and profound grief over the loss of her mother. Campbell will freeze her breast milk into molds of domestic vessels such as plates and cups. She will roam, perfectly coiffed, emotionless. Carrying. Balancing. Dealing with the perpetual melting of frozen milky vessels while doing her best (and ultimately failing) to clean up the mess.
