this narrative will leave you questioning how capitalism’s underpinnings are affecting your day to day life and our communities as a whole.
An Udder Disaster is a selection of paintings that compares capitalism’s profit-driven view of beauty, gender and sex to the toxic and unethical labor standards put in place in the pursuit of monetary gain. Depicted through large acrylic-based paintings of overtly sexualized women and dairy-based graphics, this narrative will leave you questioning how capitalism’s underpinnings are affecting your day-to-day life and our communities as a whole.
