Madison’s residency was sponsored by Leomi Foundation

Madison Donnelly is a sculptor, new media, and installation artist exploring themes of ownership, ideology, and private property. Her practice examines the psychic impact of systemic neglect, ranging from the unkempt human body and rented apartments to animal and planetary neglect. Much of her work stems from her complicated relationship with her mother, articulated through a shared language of building, home renovation, and carpentry. Donnelly graduated in 2018 from the University of Utah with a BFA in Sculpture Intermedia and in 2023 earned an MFA in Sculpture from Yale University, New Haven, CT. Selected exhibitions include Common Landscapes (2026) at ACUD Galerie, Berlin, GE; Tin There (2025) at Ely Center of Contemporary Art, New Haven, CT; Urban Contours (2024) at The Art Gallery at Brooklyn College, New York, NY; Garden Magic (2024) at Overlap Gallery, Newport, RI; and Eros is an In-Between (2023) at Rift Contemporary, Los Angeles, CA.
