Camille Laddawan / ลัดดาวัลย์
Beading Artist, b. 1990
Wurundjeri Country, Australia

Camille Laddawan’s practice is centred on beading. Her work is often inscribed with fragments of text and music notation by way of a visual code. Through these codes, her work comments on the nature of institutional language, and how enforced systems can affect the uniqueness of the individual. By drawing on personal encounters of coming into contact with legal, welfare and healthcare bodies, and language itself, Camille’s work seeks to make these experiences and ways of communicating visible.
