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

Camille Laddawan is an artist whose practice centres on beading to examine how institutions use language to structure experience, and how these systems shape individual lives. Her work incorporates fragments of text and musical notation that function as a visual code. Through this coded language, her practice considers how meaning is produced, withheld, and inherited.
