This work engages with architectural phenomenology, and plays with sensory and material tensions in black glass.
Cardone explores the idea of ‘glass as skin’ as a way of expressing a personal experience of space and bodily memory. The object frames the nuanced relationship between light and shadow in a sculptural, tangible form, which speaks about abstraction of bodily movement and a surrender to space.

Madeline Cardone (Australia, 1996) is an Italian-Australian artist working predominantly in glass. Her practice is primarily sculptural,
underpinned by an interest in architectural theory and how the body encounters space and materiality. She often works to develop
experimental and unconventional ways of making with her materials, with an inherent sensitivity towards subtle surface and refined form.
