A&D ANNUAL 2021


Tia Madden

Memories are paramount to the construction of an individual’s childhood; however, their accuracy is ambiguous. Inspired by the potential for their childhood to be a combination of truth and confabulation, Tia Madden’s drawing practice explores the liminal realm between childhood memory and adult reminiscence. By contrasting detailed ballpoint pen with vibrant colour, compositions take a fragmentary form to merge the real and the unreal. Alongside the use of parafiction and magical realism, this assists in interrupting the assumed accuracies of childhood memories. As the beginning of a deeper exploration into the subjectivity of truth, Tia’s practice works to navigate and challenge the authenticity and authorship of the past.
