Welcome to this moment.

I am tamara arden: a neurodivergent genie. I am different from day to day. 

I am not a static thing, rather a mixture of what I’m vibrating through. 

My identity is not fixed and I upgrade so quickly, I wouldn’t be able to recognise the person I was five minutes prior.

I am making space for that evolution. Maybe that’s what you’re craving too: to befriend your becoming.

Susan Sontag’s commentary on culture has really come to shape and affirm my way of looking into the self as an artist: not on display, rather aiding in purpose. She speaks about art becoming increasingly the terrain of specialists. the more interesting and creative art of our time is not open to the generally educated; it demands special effort, it speaks a specialised language. art today is a new kind of instrument for modifying consciousness and organising new modes of sensibility. in response to this new function, artists have had to become self-conscious aestheticians, continuously challenging their means, materials and methods. 

I am interested in creating meeting points of the tactile and the taciturn: where every medium I touch or experiment with is informed by the the full investment of showing up as a hypersensitive showcase of memory, prose, space and colour. I am searching for satiation in the mundane by musing it into appetisers and ceremonies. 

In the past, I have produced content to appease diagnoses. Going forward, I am far more interested in creating compelling and digestible stories that treat the symptoms of society. 

A House Made of Breath is something alive, akin to a publishing house, in that I am creating materials to be used as allies for people that are looking for diverse, niche, experimental and novel ways to bring inclusion, belonging and reflection in their designs and ideas. I contribute, edit and offer as a way of being of service to whoever wants to workshop improved ways of telling their stories.

I am a journalist in recovery, using prompts and inquiries to define and develop deep dialogue.

Welcome to my world of spatial poetry, relational being and conversation design. Here I move through a fluid sense of mediums, where I hold space for the compassion science of consumption in our choices, using an erotic intelligence taught to me through somatic experiencing, tantra, Qi Gong, spiritual ecology and intentional community resourcing.
