Exhibition Description

The Labours of Lovely is a celebration of frivolity, indulgence, and defiance—an unapologetic embrace of sweetness and femininity within the domestic sphere. Inspired by the often-dismissed aesthetics of “grandma-core,” the work draws from historical decorative ceramics and domestic ornamentation as powerful expressions of joy and self-determination. Mimicking the artist’s own home, the show reflects a personal journey of starting over, creating space for healing, and building a life centred on beauty, pleasure, and individual freedom. It invites viewers into an intimate world where the domestic is not mundane, but a vibrant, transformative, and deeply intentional act; where beauty is not trivial, and pleasure is an act of resistance.
