Madelyn Gowler is a Winnipeg-based, queer artist working across film, photography, textiles, and installation. Their practice explores memory, nostalgia, and the physical nature of images through hands-on, process-driven methods. Often working with found and repurposed materials, Gowler is interested in how images and objects change over time through use, handling, and transformation.

Through weaving, layering, and reworking materials, Gowler creates work that sits between care and disruption. Their installations invite slow looking, encouraging viewers to search for meaning within altered and partially hidden imagery. Drawing on the familiarity of domestic materials and personal associations, their work evokes feelings of comfort alongside subtle disorientation, opening space for reflection on memory, materiality, and the ways images are experienced beyond their original form.
