Madeline Hildebrandt is an Abbotsford-based artist whose studio practice includes painting, drawing, and sculpture. Across a variety of media, her work is bound together by a common interest in the subject of process — the act of making itself — often using highly repetitive processes. Like many people today, Hildebrandt struggles with anxiety. For her, incorporating gestures of repetition into her artistic practice allows her to access a meditative state of mind that supersedes her anxiety-ridden thoughts and aids her progression in healing.

Hildebrandt’s recent series of gouache paintings, Pixelated Pathways, presents multitudes of pixel-like shapes that link together to form seemingly endless ‘pathways’ through gradient colour transitions. Each painting is titled after the amount of ‘pixels’ present in the composition. Through a language of repetition, colour, and visual exposition, Hildebrandt’s work invites witnesses to contemplate their own self-management strategies for anxiety.
