Talking about milk, cows would come to people's minds first. But as human, the first drop of milk we get is from our mothers. In this work, butter knives, representing consumers of diary products, are placed around the diary scale, representing the milkmaids, which looks like a big family sitting by a dinner table, and children are around their mother. In other words, milkmaid, as a female dominated job, is given a meaning of mothers, who are producing everyone's sustenance.
Most of Miss Lettieri work, as she told to us, are focused on human's labor, which give them a kind of humanistic care. Milkmaids, as a representative of those people working to produce food and other necessary stuffs in our daily life, are like people's mother in some way. This work suggests us to give them the respect they deserve, for they are of vital importance for our daily life and found the basis of human's society.
