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 of embodying and transmitting knowledge. Movement, repetition, and interruption function as modes of embodied memory and transmission. The edition carries forward the concerns of Crested – embodiment, memory, and forms of Indigenous knowledge – rendering them into a textile form.
