Kaneem Smith
About
This presentation is part of an ongoing series of fabric wall-based artworks by Houston-based artist Kaneem Smith. Laborscapes began as an exploration in 2018 and utilizes both natural and hand-dyed cotton canvas which connect color panels that aim to resemble a quilt. According to Smith, “'Laborscapes' are assembled land-portraits—a close, sustained look through the eyes of archaeological and ancestral imagination, the natural environment transforming from a landscape into a laborscape."
