The sour milk paintings originate from an investigation into non-traditional binders and organic materials as active agents in painting. Using cultured milk as a primary material, the works explore drying, separation, cracking, and skin formation as generative forces rather than defects.
Applied onto acrylic-grounded linen or colored MDF, the milk behaves unpredictably. As it dries, it forms membranes, fractures, and translucent layers that register time, gravity, and evaporation. The painterly act becomes a collaboration between bodily gesture and biochemical process.
The works exist in a tension between control and loss of control. While color and composition are introduced deliberately, the final surface is shaped by transformation over time. The paintings function as records of material change, where painting shifts from image-making toward a material event.
