Whatever You Do Is Working (Pop Music is the Only Truth) 2016

Around this time of balancing personal grief at the state of her relationship with the far greater delight in her children and her work, Daudy used pop music as a salve for her mind. Sitting in the back of a taxi being berated by her husband she would be lifted by the words of a song from the cheesy pop station at the front.
At Yorkshire Sculpture Park during her first show there "This is Water" she performed the same song "Point of View" by DB Boulevard every day to a copse of trees at 11.11am.

Daudy and Novoselov's work "All You Had to do Was Stay" borrows its title from the chorus of a song by Taylor Swift (relatively small-time at that point) perhaps the first time a major art work has been created by a Nobel Prize winning artist inspired by a radio 1 hit. Daudy's works continue to be inspired by pop music, not to mention work created by her for musicians such as Bjork, Rufus Wainwright, The Glyndebourne Opera House and pop bands.
