-== Kate Daudy ==
-Hi I have attempted to create an article on the British artist Kate Daudy. Can you please look at it for me and give it feed back?
-Below is what I have written so far:
- ‘''Kate Daudy''' (Born 19 November, 1970) is a British artist who lives and works in London. Her work is inspired by an ancient Chinese literati tradition of inscribing poems on to objects <ref>Intelligence Squared Contributor[http://www.intelligencesquared.com/people/d/kate-daudy “Kate Daudy on the importance of objects at 5X15”], "Intelligence Squared", September 27,2010, accessed 4 September 2011 </ref>.
-Her technique involves composing or carefully selecting poetry that reflects or contrasts with the nature of the object of her choosing <ref>Michael Hoppen Contributor [http://www.michaelhoppengallery.com/artist,show,3,183,0,0,0,0,0,0,kate_daudy_and_daniel_eskenazi.html “Kate Daudy and Daniel Eskenazi”],  "Michael Hoppen Contemporary", accessed on 4 September 2011 </ref>. The letters that form these poems are cut from felt fabric and applied in different techniques, depending on the object <ref>Michael Hoppen Contributor [http://www.michaelhoppengallery.com/artist,show,3,183,0,0,0,0,0,0,kate_daudy_and_daniel_eskenazi.html “Kate Daudy and Daniel Eskenazi”],  "Michael Hoppen Contemporary", accessed on 4 September 2011 </ref>. Through her scholarly examination of the memory of objects Daudy explores concepts of communication and language, spirituality, solitude and East/West relations <ref>Intelligence Squared Contributor[http://www.intelligencesquared.com/people/d/kate-daudy “Kate Daudy on the importance of objects at 5X15”], "Intelligence Squared", September 27,2010, accessed 4 September 2011 </ref>. She speaks and works in seven languages, including classical and modern Chinese.
-== Themes ==
-The concept of writing on objects originates to the beginning of Chinese civilization, when tortoise shells and scapulae were used to predict the future. These ‘oracles bones’ would go through a process of being burnt in the dying embers of a fire and in accordance with how the bones and shells cracked Chinese shaman would for see the future and subsequently write what they had predicted on those shells <ref>  Morton, G [http://www.5x15stories.com/videos/Kate-Daudy/ “Lemn Sissay and Kate Daudy”(video file)],  "5X15", accessed4 September 2011 </ref>.This was particularly prevalent in the Shang Dynasty(1600-1046 BC) <ref>Skyswright, V, [http://www.bonhams.com/eur/press/5161/ “Daniel Eskenazi and Kate Daudy Present Selling Exhibition of Their Collaborative Work at Bonhams”], "BONHAMS 1793" accessed 4 September 2011 </ref>. The calligraphic writing or inscribing of poems onto objects became an elevated art form in itself, perpetuated by the ruling Emperors, who would compose poems to be inscribed onto paintings or works of art of special significance to them <ref>Skyswright, V, [http://www.bonhams.com/eur/press/5161/ “Daniel Eskenazi and Kate Daudy Present Selling Exhibition of Their Collaborative Work at Bonhams”], "BONHAMS 1793" accessed 4 September 2011 </ref>.
-By perpetuating this literary tradition as a contemporary plastic art form Kate Daudy’s work has brought these ancient concepts even back to mainland China itself, where the tradition had been lost. Daudy uses words of her own composition as well as other poems from varied sources such as Verlaine and Anne Sexton, to Pink Floyd lyrics <ref> Walker, Harriet [http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/poetry-in-motion-the-guerrilla-wordsmiths-bringing-a-literary-touch-to-vintage-chic-1814680.html “Poetry in motion: The guerrilla wordsmiths bringing a literary touch to vintage chic”] "The Independent" accessed 4 September 2011 </ref>.
