Labour of Love

  • Shumaiya Khan

The series of Labour of Love is an ongoing series, drawing attention to obsessive thought, detail and action towards life’s desires. Tempering the sense of urgency, fragmenting thought for succession and the willingness to complete. But more importantly to triumph, rise and achievement in causes close to the heart. Paired prose with pieces discuss frequency of energy, periods of rest and pushing through blocks, the artist’s inspirations, obsession to making 2 ends meet and grow, and the letting go and opening doors for new developments.
