Maddyson Hatton works primarily in print, ceramics and artists books . Her recent research focuses on censorship in Google satellite imagery and the oculars role within mapping as an instrument of power regarding sight. A fundamental process to all of Maddyson's work is blind drawing: the eye traces the image, whilst the hand traces blindly what the eye is seeing.
