Topia Photography

This work is part of a series- TOPIA, A Sunburnt Country proposes the artist as photographer and metalworker, to discover an emblematic and personal correlation between the formal qualities of the rural Australian landscape, and the abstracted spatial compositions of her images and sculptural objects. Madi’s interest in earth, Country, and its material resources speak to the alchemy of her film and forging processes, both heavily symbolizing her interest in the transformational properties of heat, industrial intervention, labor, and force. The search for outcome through materials is a mirror for the search for self in a location that the artist seeks.
