The Labor of Love is a thesis on the relationship between motherhood, labor and craft, submitted by Anjali Arasasingham at Parsons School of Design. The editorial production is a Coptic stitch hardcover book that interrogates the different facets of maternal labor, drawing connections between housework and typically laborious feminine craft. Taking typographic and compositional inspiration from birth certificates and family scrapbooks, the design represent the oppressive/labor intensive systems built around motherhood but also its inherent beauty.
PoW Covenant Mono Regular is used for the body text, with Mrs Eaves XL Serif for the titles.
