ABOUT

Maddie Provost (they/them)

Maddie is a 22 year-old multimedia artist and documentary photographer who attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, receiving a BFA in Photography and Imaging. As an artist concerned with socio-political issues, Maddie has a passion for documenting and telling stories. Being lesbian, trans, and an Asian-American artist, Maddie tends to make work around the themes of queerness and gender, intertwined with family, culture, and identity. Within their current photographic endeavors, Maddie focuses heavily on collage, black and white darkroom work, and experimental/alternative processes mixed with documentary practices. They want to 'queer', and thus interrogate, the normative notions of art-making practices by creating work that combines both fine art and documentary. 

In 2018 Maddie’s photo essay was featured in ABC News as part of a series of student reports for March For Our Lives. In addition, Maddie also attended the School of the New York Times Photojournalism as Art program under former New York Times staffer Angel Franco. Maddie’s photographs have been exhibited at the 2023 SPE National Caucus in Denver, Colorado for the "Homecoming" Exhibition juried by Jess T. Dugan, was shortlisted for the 2024 Center for Photography Woodstock Artist in Residency program, was selected for the 2024 New York Portfolio Review, and is soon to be exhibited in “BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY)” by Project For Empty Space.
