Sarah Madeline

Sarah Madeline’s work investigates the interconnection between materials, technical processes, and their contexts within physical and digital spaces. Her ongoing research of found objects and images reflects on remnants and preservation, which are central to her practice. Through browser-based and born-digital archival work, Madeline strives to harness a balance between examining the past and anticipating the future.
