Found and Lost / Bridgework 11
Madison Boeder, Nomka Enkhee, Madison Winters
Opening Reception: October 17th, 2025 6-9 PM
Found and Lost showcases the work of Madison Boeder, Madison Winters, and Nomka Enkhee, exploring how fragments—whether material, symbolic, or linguistic—serve as vessels for memory and transformation. In their practices, what is broken, discarded, or obscured signifies not only loss but also a threshold where preservation and renewal can occur.
Boeder’s large-scale paintings and installations focus on themes of protection, creating spaces that exist between shelter and fracture, where gestures aimed at safety reveal their inherent fragility. Winters reclaims both industrial and personal waste, confronting cycles of excess while reimagining discarded materials as a means of critique and renewal. Enkhee combines found objects with oral traditions, incorporating repetition, ritual, and performance into sculptural forms that express care and storytelling.
Together, these works gather and reconfigure materials and histories. They shelter and expose, preserve and decay, repeat and unravel. Found and Lost lingers in these shifting states, tracing how what slips away may also be carried forward, held, and transformed.
Madison Boeder is a visual artist from Wisconsin, currently based in Milwaukee. Their multidisciplinary practice spans painting, installation, woodworking, and sculpture. Through the intuitive selection of materials and processes, Boeder creates layered environments that evoke themes of ritual, memory, and transformation. Guided by Animist and Pagan beliefs, their work engages with the quiet power of nature, spiritual searching, and the need for safety in uncertain spaces.
Madison has exhibited locally at venues including the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, Gray Area Gallery, and other spaces throughout the Midwest. In 2025, Boeder earned a BFA with a minor in Art History from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.
