Taking cues from a diverse array of subjects including utopian and dystopian culture, psychoactive plants, motivational speakers, & the serigraphic works of Sister Mary Corita Kent, Cody Hudson synthesises the high & low, public & private into a melodic barrage of poetic messaging, combining elemental shapes and poetic text to create compositions that present as disarmingly confessional and accessible messages.

Cody Hudson’s Future No.1 (Fill The Void) is a nod to Words Travel Fast, an open air group exhibition curated by Primary throughout buildings in Miami World Center, 2015. This exhibition invited artists to address the public through large, text based, murals.
