Artist Statement
Tiona Nekkia McClodden [she/her] is a visual artist, filmmaker, and curator whose work often employs a citational practice exploring and critiquing issues at the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and social commentary. Her interdisciplinary approach traverses documentary film, experimental video, sculpture, and sound installations. Re-memory, and more recently biomythography are themes explored within her work as well as shared ideas, values, and beliefs within the African Diaspora, or what she terms, “Black mentifact”. McClodden is interested in Blackness and traversing nostalgia; and how the past, present, and future can intersect visually and thematically within time-based work.
