Invisible Labour Loops has been installed in the Michael O'Brian Exhibition Commons at Emily Carr University for the MFA Grad show in July 2024, at the Libby Leshgold gallery and Art in the Open festival in 2025, and at the MOTHRA residency in Gibraltar Point in 2026.
This work is Informed by artists and theorists such as Mierle Laderman Ukeles, who understood the connection between exploited public maintenance labour, and unpaid domestic mothering labour. Capitalist patriarchal systems depend on so-called ‘free’ labour in order to persist, and they benefit from care labour’s continued devaluation.
It is recommended that you view the filmed documentation of the installed looping animations full screen, on a computer.
