The Back Story

Milk (Here’s the Thing).

Bro was thirsty.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how much I romanticize small moments with my friends. I wanted to showcase how even a seemingly innocuous action such as drinking from a carton of milk, can be transformed through my lens of my relationship with said person. Suddenly, this slightly off-putting, but still commonplace action becomes elevated with a sense of humor and nostalgia.

About

Emma “M” Dailey is a junior at the Cleveland Institute of Art, double majoring in Painting and Sculpture + Expanded Media.

The core of Dailey’s work is human fragility, as they attempt to reason their way through this silly little universe.

Dailey’s work is often introspective. Dailey is a survivor of multiple instances of sexual assault, and their art is a vessel to communicate the anger and confusion that comes with such a title.

Dailey is also puppeteer and avid puppet designer, and hopes to one day spread their ideas about healing from such events through the art form.

They also hate the sun.

The Process

I made this work rather quickly- to get out of my current slump in painting. I’ve always loved drawing, but haven’t used it as a medium for a couple years now. I used a mechanical pencil for this entire thing because I’m a fool.
