Madison Hendry
Madison Hendry is an interdisciplinary artist based in Cleveland, Ohio. Her works utilize raw building materials usually hidden behind the walls, such as fiberglass insulation, air conditioning ducts, and ventilation systems. In contrast, she utilizes domestic objects within the context of daily routine, such as dining room chairs, kitchen utensils, and traditional women’s work, including quilting, crochet, and embroidery. By combining the materials that make up the home with objects found within it, Madison creates an interior-exterior dialogue and, in turn, asks the viewer to question their own position.
She received her MFA in Sculpture from Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, NY, in 2011. Madison studied under the influential conceptual artists Vito Acconci, Blane de St. Croix, and Tom Scicluna. Madison’s works on Motherhood have been exhibited internationally, including her most recent exhibition with ProCreate Project, “Mother Art Prize'', Cromwell Place, London, (2020), Solo Exhibition, “Mother/Infant,”Unperceived Existence, Gallery Shush, Europe (2018), “Project AfterBirth,” Whitechapel Gallery, London (2015); the first ever international exhibition on the subject of early parenthood.
Madison is known very well as a community birth worker and speaker at many conferences and Workshops, including: The Annual Museum of Motherhood Conference, NY, NY, The Motherboard Birth Summit, Postpartum Support International & United States Breastfeeding Committee Conference. She is a Certified Breastfeeding Educator (BAI), Certified Birth Doula (BWI) Certified Kangaroula with Jill and Dr. Nils Bergman and a Trainer/Mentor with BirthWorks International.
