Madeline Cardone lives and works on Ngunnawal traditional lands in Canberra, and is a graduate from the School of Art and Design, The Australian National University. Her practice is primarily sculptural, underpinned by references to archaeological, anatomical and architectural theory. Informed by her cultural heritage, she draws upon history, landscapes and memory as undertones in her practice in glass. Her sculptural forms frame the interplay of light and shadow, and invite a slow, tactile contemplation of materiality.
Cardone often refers to ‘glass as skin’ as a way of connecting space and bodily memory. This connection to the body is personal, and speaks of experiences being uncomfortable in one’s own skin, of taking up space, or surrendering to it. The glass veils the memory of form. It offers stillness, yet implies a state of constant flux. In this liminal state, the glass opens a dialogue, and evokes a strange familiarity—a sense of the corporeal, or a terrain—while shifting our understanding of what materials can hold, reflect, and become.
Cardone has exhibited nationally and internationally since 2017. She was awarded the Bassett Downs Honours Scholarship in Glass (ANU, 2021), the Vicki Torr Emerging Artist Prize (Ausglass, 2022), and the Aldo Bellini Acquisition Award for Milano Vetro Under-35 (Milan, 2024).

Touching Space is an exhibition of works in glass and drawing that study how the body encounters, interacts with and understands space and form. I continually contemplate how these experiences, though often transient, are embedded in bodily memory, and how to foster a connection between something as intangible as memory and something as physical as material.

TOUCHING SPACE
EXHIBITION ESSAY
BRONTE CORMICAN-JONES
Madeline Cardone’s work is archaeological—not merely in subject but in spirit. Rocks, she tells us, are the bones of the earth. They protrude, they fragment, and yet they persist. But what Cardone unearths in Touching Space is not only geological—it is somatic. The body, too, is an archaeological site. It holds history in its folds, its scars, its fragilities. It wears the passage of time like the earth wears erosion. It is in this layered, shifting terrain that Cardone’s work finds its resonance.
