Madeleine Bender – MA/MFA
I work across sculpture, sound, video, image, and writing, exploring boundaries and definitions of the body in time and space. Can the body stretch into the walls of the domestic space? Do the products of the body’s endless shedding remain part of the self? I draw on my own body and experiences of dance, illness, and being femme in the world. My practice often utilises dislocation and fragmentation as a tool, alienating personal materials from their origins, dust from deep under the sofa, hair from my hairbrush, creaking and cracking noises I make as I move.
Based in London.
