Madeleine Washbrook (b.2001) is a British artist from Belper, Derbyshire, living and working in Birmingham, UK. They are a multi-disciplinary artist, who has worked across film, publications, painting, print, and more; currently, they are working sculpturally with latex, fabric, electrical devices, wires, and pigmented plaster to construct abject technological forms, which represent an external manifestation of an internal cybernetic transgression. Their work is inspired by Washbrook’s identity as a member of Generation Z, the first digital guinea pig generation without a pre-internet brain and a future. These experiences and traumas of this predicament inspired her 23-minute film and publication “where is the utopia I was promised?” (2021), which explores the narrative of Generation Z’s haunting post-911 child and their impending doom.
