Layers of Labour of Love
Khadija Aziz and Laura Kay Keeling
‘Layers of Labour of Love’ is a diptych of digital collages exchanged between the artists reflecting on labour, love, and acts of care that have become especially prominent in our communities over the last year. The artists participated in an exchange of conversations, readings, and their own artworks, to learn about each other’s personal narratives that inspire them to make the art that they do. Twice a week for four weeks, Khadija and Laura exchanged two digital collages and each added new scanned images of plants, textiles, and other everyday objects to develop this diptych. These reciprocating acts of care – through the labour of consciously contributing to each other’s work – has culminated in a visual representation of what could only be the result of a truly collaborative effort.
Khadija and Laura invite you to experience the benefits of such artistic collaboration through an extension of this project, ‘Layers of Love’. Experienced online at layersoflove.ca, guests are encouraged to create their own digital collage using the same layers the artists used in ‘Layers of Labour of Love’.
