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 is inscribed with fragments of text and music notation, functioning as a visual code. Through this coded language, her practice considers how meaning is produced, withheld, and inherited.
