Leyla Yenirce’s painting "Labor" consists of jagged brushstrokes that change direction and consolidate into an excess of abstract, proliferating webs and indecipherable signatures. She appropriates images that are visible through dense layers of paint in her works on canvas. Yenirce draws on an archive of films and photographs that deal with figurations of resistance and aspects of military, media and cultural structures of dominance. Her process of collecting testifies to the widespread circulation of images depicting women in resistance, while also suggesting Yenirce's own media-influenced relationship with the country of her birth, Kurdistan. She is able to apply the technique of sampling in different artistic forms reacting to what she has found by layering and collaging in her compositions, elaborate installations, video works, performances and paintings.
