There’s Nothing Quite Like Home Cooking
A flesh-centric collaboration between Isla P. Gordon and Ashley Kaye, Milk and Honey explores and lampoons pop culture, partnership and the body. Milk and Honey takes its name from the biblical phrase , and inspiration from its use in the modern day to describe, among other things, The United States of America, a 1984 album by John Lennon &Yoko Ono, and an ancient form of corporal punishment.
Milk and Honey’s oeuvre draws on the creators’ experiences as a trans woman and a gender non-conforming person. Utilizing an array of props, custom designed and printed textiles and bodysuits, their live performances, videos and installations that provided visibility to both the transgender and queer domestic experience and visualizes our ongoing process of learning and unlearning as we redefine our ideas of domesticity and marriage.
