Wheelchair accessibleCamille Laddawan explores the speech sounds of a newborn baby to consider the “asemic” state of pre-speech in Babble Acts. Before acquiring the social language of a culture, a baby makes instinctive sounds: a unique set of vocalised symbols that express feelings and needs; a language formed from their own body. Through the repetitions of these utterances, a mode of communication is formed between child and parent, one that exists outside of socialised norms. Through a series of beaded works and graphic scores, this exhibition illuminates this fleeting state of private and embodied communication.
Participants
Camille Laddawan’s practice is centred on beading and extends to etching, painting and photography. Her beading work is often inscribed with fragments of text and music notation by way of a visual code. Through this code, her work comments on the nature of institutional language, and the difficulties of navigating it. By drawing on personal experiences of coming into contact with legal, welfare and healthcare bodies, Camille’s work seeks to make these experiences and ways of communicating visible.
