MADISON MCCORKLE

1 Agosto 2019 – 31 Agosto 2019

BIO:

MADISON MCCORKLE works with mixed media and found-object sculpture. She is currently focused on reinterpreting common artifacts extracted from memories of her childhood in rural Texas and communicating the relationship of neglected communities with the scraps of hyperconsumerism. Since graduating from The University of Texas at Austin in 2016, her work has been displayed in the USA, Mexico, Finland, and Portugal. 

PROJECT:

From the assembly and reworking of domestic cultural artifacts, which from the point of view of
aesthetic views refer to a rural and suburban Texas, layered by family histories and cultural issues such as the relationship between neglected communities and the remains of mass consumption.
Individually or as a whole, the works explore history’s role in determining present-day circumstances and ultimately influencing the manner and means of creative expression.
