Madi Feist is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, assemblage, and video. Central to her practice are themes of consumerism and consumption. By using found and discarded materials, repurposed into everyday objects, her work explores our relationship with the detritus of the current socio-economic climate. Feist also examines themes of femininity, humour, desire and cultural and social identity through her varying processes. Her works often parallel commonplace items, like handbags or framed paintings, giving them a familiar yet foreign or uncanny appearance that encourages viewers to reconsider what is deemed valuable or disposable.

Madi Feist lives and works on Gadigal land. In 2021, she completed her Masters of Fine Arts from the National Arts School, Darlinghurst, where she majored in Painting. Recent achievements include participation in exhibitions at China Heights Gallery in February and Passport Store and Gallery in July, as well as several group exhibitions at Tiles Lewisham, Gaffa Gallery, Flinders Art Project Space, Prop Gallery, and various pop-up/one-night-only shows in public spaces. She is scheduled to have her first solo show in November at Puzzle Gallery, Chippendale. In 2022, she was a finalist in The Remagine Art Prize at Wallarobba Arts and Cultural Centre and, during her studies, was the recipient of the East Sydney Doctors Scholarship (2020) and the Derivan Prize for Mixed Media (2019).
