MADDIE TAIT-JAMIESON

Maddie Tait-Jamieson integrates drawing and writing into multimedia installations that examine contemporary Western relationships to death, fragility, territory and gender. In these installations, they offer performative readings that unfold as pedagogical presentations, intimate narratives and animal-drag. Their research draws on the social sciences, pop culture and the more anecdotal forms of knowledge derived from his everyday relationships and experiences. The meaning of place, identity and the role of the intimate in the socio-political are at the root of her storytelling practice.
