On the occasion of her exhibition Crested, artist Tanya Lukin Linklater created a limited edition.
Her woven mathematics is based on the score for the performance Tendon thread, which was presented as a series of Open Rehearsals with Mya Dixon, Talia Dixon, Mekko Harjo, and Mina Linklater during the opening weekend (30 & 31 May 2026) of the exhibition at Portikus. For this edition, the artist draws on text fragments and symbols to create a cyclical pattern.
In her artistic practice, Lukin Linklater understands performance as a process through which knowledge is embodied and transmitted. Movement, repetition, and interruption become forms of remembering and mediation. The edition continues the artist's engagement with embodiment, memory, and forms of Indigenous knowledge developed in Crested, translating these concerns into a textile format.
