At the start of the New Year, Texas-based artist Colette Copeland reflects on the poetics of femininity and the passing of time. In Galaxias tou Gala (Milk Galaxy), a figure emerges and recedes amidst clusters of cut flowers in a pastel-hued milk bath. Drawing inspiration from poet Rupi Kaur’s Milk and Honey, Copeland explores themes of growth through pain, intergenerational strength, and the quiet power of aging, and employs intimate framing, gentle pacing, and layered visual textures to convey a narrative of enduring grace and dignity that continues to bloom across a lifetime.
January’s Midnight Moment is co-presented by Times Square Arts and The Alternative Art School (TAAS), a global online non-traditional art school and residency program. This new partnership offers mentorship for TAAS students applying to the Midnight Moment open call.
