Mads Washbrook (b.2001) is a multi-disciplinary storyteller and weaves her stories across painting, sculpture, performance, and writing. These threads of practice cross and combine across these processes to construct contemporary modes of storytelling. Her work often revisits the cyclicality of Pagan seasonal festivals through rebirth to map the complexity of a feminine existence defined by violence and seeking healing. Within her filmmaking practice, she works site-specifically in response to sacred Celtic and Pagan sites of historical significance with absurd sculptures and costumes to investigate past, present, and future Celtic storytelling. Her sculptural practice uses traditional processes and natural materials like rubber, straw, and rattan with printmaking and weaving, as a means of reconnecting with traditional heritage craftsmanship.

Since early 2025, she has been publishing her writing under her full name as a return to form; a raw, unfiltered archival project of all her writing from teens to updating works in progress in real-time. From the nature of scribbling on paper to notes app, the archive will always be incomplete and reveals common themes of heartbreak, spirituality, ego death, feminine rage, and mental health.
