Mads Washbrook

Mads Washbrook (b.2001) is a multi-disciplinary artist working across performance film, sculpture, writing and drawing, often combining and translating across these processes to construct new modes of storytelling. Her work often revisits the cyclicality of pagan ideals through rebirth to map the complexity of a rhizomatic feminine existence defined by violence and seeking a healing of this violence through physical hybridity. Within her film making practice, she works site specifically in response to sacred Celtic and Pagan sites of historical significance with absurd sculptures and costumes inspired by Celtic rituals to investigate past, present, and future Celtic storytelling. Her sculptural practice uses traditional processes and natural materials like rubber, straw, and rattan with printmaking and weaving as a means of reconnecting with and exploring her Celtic British diasporic identity.
