Exhibition Submission Statement

In this series the artist transforms the materials of everyday life and personal history into enduring ceramic form. Using her son’s old toddler bed as the basis for moulds, she reconfigures objects once central to domestic and emotional space into new sculptural structures.

The bed, a site of care and transition, embodies both intimacy and distance: a place where parents read, comfort, and eventually withdraw as a child grows and asserts independence. It is a threshold space, both architectural and emotional, where enclosure gives way to expansion, and the familiar transforms.

Artist Statement

Madeiski’s process begins with ephemeral assemblages of foam and fragments, which she casts into plaster and then ceramic, preserving their textures and imperfections. The foam, reminiscent of insulation or acoustic panelling, introduces a material ambiguity—something soft made hard, something designed to absorb now rendered to endure.

Trained in architecture, Madeiski bridges the precision of construction with the spontaneity of handcraft. Her sculptures hover between permanence and impermanence, structure and collapse, emotion and form. Through this process, she reimagines not just discarded materials but the architectures of care, memory, and transition—how the spaces we inhabit, and the objects within them, quietly record the passage of time.
