Labour: The Work of Life
The Labour Series is an exploration of the work of life.
Labour can be a thrill, or it can be drudgery. It can be ignored or celebrated. It can be domestic, physical, emotional. It can be trivial, or it can result in the birth of a baby. It is all the things we do with and for each other.
My focus is the unseen labour that has a profound impact on us all: the unpaid and unheralded labour, the big and small efforts that go on behind the scenes of life. The fabric collages in this show depict the millions of ways we care for each other: for family, friends, neighbours, and even for strangers. Each kindness a building block in a larger web of grace.
