Plastic Milk by Megan Rudden is a hybrid artist’s book exploring the strange, tidal territory of motherhood. Moving between memoir, research and material practice, it considers the intimate entanglements between the maternal body and the environments it inhabits.

The pamphlet follows the substances that pass between us, and the things we cannot keep outside: chemicals, children, grief, care and capitalism. Through water, membranes, toxicity and the salt marsh, Megan’s writing traces the porous boundaries between mother and child, body and environment, and the domestic and ecological. What happens when we stop imagining the maternal body—and the individual self—as sealed and autonomous?

Plastic Milk is an unsettling meditation on motherhood, ecological entanglement and what it means to be porous.
