Abstract Labour

Abstract Labours four­teen paint­ed alu­mini­um let­ter-shapes, which spell out the work’s title, were designed to encour­age inter­ac­tion and act as a tem­po­rary library to inspire read­ing and dis­cus­sion among muse­um vis­i­tors. Exem­pli­fy­ing Emily’s imag­i­na­tive aes­thet­ic focused on learn­ing and play, Abstract Labour was unveiled at the time the exhi­bi­tion Far Rain­bow.
