We are delighted that you enjoyed Labour of Love, Dion Kitson's Ill Communication has taken a few people aback with how life like the sculpture is.

I really enjoyed the β€œLabour of Love:
Economies of care in contemporary art” exhibition at @glucksman.bsky.social Even if I did think this 3D sculpture was a real person and I said to him / it β€œjeez, I thought you were part of the exhibition ha ha” when I saw it first πŸ˜‚ it’s creepily real.
