Anna Madeleine is an emerging artist working in mixed media and stop motion animation. She graduated from ANU School of Art in 2007 and in 2010 commenced a PhD in Media Arts at COFA, UNSW.
Her work explores how personal expression exists within contemporary information spaces - and modifies that culture - to shape a new way of engaging with mass standardized systems and ultimately a new way of thinking. She uses tactile media and physical form to present a co-evolution of old and new media, in a deliberately simplistic and playful approach, to offset the familiarity of the digital in new media art.
Since 2007 she has exhibited solo, collaborative and group shows in Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney, and has completed residencies with Canberra Contemporary Art Space, PhotoAccess, Sydney Artspace and Splendid Arts Lab. She was a recipient of the 2010 Qantas Foundation Art Award, and with this recently worked in residence at Kala Arts Institute, Berkeley, and CTRLlab, Montreal, where she exhibited her first international solo show.
