From their workshop located on Gunditjmara Country, let artist Madi Whyte take you on a guided tour through their metalworking process. She will show you the tools and practices you can employ when working with steel, including making large works through conceptualization, tools, painting steel, welding and footings.
Madi Whyte is an artist from the Western District whose practice encompasses artistic photography, painting, and sculpture- inspired by her connection to surrounding landscapes, metalworking, and the everyday zeitgeist. She’s interested in exploring the language of the line, cut, and fold in her work. TOPIA, A Sunburnt Country proposes the artist as photographer and metalworker, to discover an emblematic and personal correlation between the formal qualities of the rural Australian landscape, and the abstracted spatial compositions of her images and sculptural objects.
Madi's exhibition, TOPIA: A Sunburnt Country ran at Platform Arts from the 25 Feb - 25 March 2022.
