Labor of Sirens

Utilizing the footage and sounds of various labor jobs, Olivia Camfield explores the contrasts between taxing physical labor, the beauty of space, land stewardship practices and perceptions of value. Drawing from the repetitive imagery of hard labor they construct a meandering landscape filled with joy, pain, poverty, and love for the land. They take their background as a dancer to perform what a valued body is in the workforce.
