Nadiah Bamadhaj was trained as a sculptor at the University of Canterbury, and has lived in Yogyakarta since a Nippon Foundation fellowship took her there in 2002. She is also a writer on human rights in Malaysia and Indonesia, and her art has consistently examined how the state addresses its citizens through architecture and monument. Her signature method begins with photographing an arrangement of objects, then rebuilding the image in dense layers of charcoal, often cut and collaged. The Kindling Siege shows a low shelter of corrugated sheet and timber, fronted by upright poles that read both as prison bars and as stacked firewood. The title is the key: kindling is fuel waiting to catch, a siege is an enclosure under pressure. Together they make the shelter an image of confinement that could also go up in flames. As in most of her work, the politics are built into the structure itself.
