Kudos acknowledges and pays respect to the Gadigal and Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. They are the traditional custodians of the land Kudos operates on. We create, design, share, and exchange our work and knowledge on this important meeting place. We pay our respects to elders past and present and extend that respect to any First Nations people who engage with Kudos. This is and always will be Aboriginal land.
| I am an artist and writer whose installations, texts, and drawings examine
the overlap between drawing and writing. Interested in how humans
encode, preserve, and transmit knowledge through mark-making, I
consider how marks can be misperceived over time, where their original
knowledge may be reshaped, or entirely misread, as a result of being
recontextualised. Working across creative non-fiction and the expanded
field of drawing, I build on traditions of mark-making and asemic poetry, as
well as the languages of abstraction and undeciphered writing systems, to
consider how visual forms preserve and transmit information. In doing so,
my work aims to activate, engage, and destabilise the meaning-making
process, considering the communicative potential of abstract marks when
they are framed - or misread - as carriers of hidden meaning. @tia_madden |
