Sudha McFadden studies attention under structured conditions.

Trained as an economist, her work is oriented toward systems, evidence, and repeatability. It emerges from an extended period of independent inquiry into why attention goes where it does, and what becomes possible when it is freely given. Adjacent inquiries into pattern, natural form, and sound inform and extend the primary work.

The method operates as a repeatable structure applied across populations, contexts, and durations.

Her work unfolds across three tracks: an artistic practice and archive, a separate structure through which fields are conducted, and a developing body of evidence compiled for academic study.

She lives and works in rural South Carolina.
