Los Angeles based artist Madi McCullough transforms acrylic into sculptural works that showcases the importance between art, light, and material. Rather than treating acrylic as a transparent surface, she uses it as part of her daily practice, exploring how layers, color, and reflection can create depth. Each piece invites her audience to get a better sense of how perspective can completely change what they see.
At the center of her work is an emphasis on craftsmanship. Every sculpture begins as acrylic sheets that are carefully cut, shaped, layered, and assembled by hand, allowing the material's qualities to become part of the artwork itself. Instead of concealing the construction, her process revolves around precision, demonstrating how repetition, and attention to detail transform a flat industrial material into something that feels fluid and dimensional. The result is work that changes with its surroundings, responding to light, shadow, and the viewer's position.
What makes her practice so compelling is the relationship she creates with the material. Her sculptures are not defined by a single viewpoint but by the experience of moving around them, discovering new layers with every angle. The sense of interaction reflects the importance of craftsmanship throughout her process, where every cut, edge, and composition is considered before the final piece comes together. Through acrylic, she demonstrates how technical precision and artistic expression can exist in perfect balance.
Ultimately, her work is a reminder that craftsmanship is as important as the finished object. By embracing the physical qualities of acrylic and allowing the material to shape the outcome, she creates sculptures that feel otherworldly. Her practice shows that extraordinary work often comes from a deep understanding of a single material and the patience to explore its possibilities beyond what first meets the eye.
