Tobias Madison

Hospitality

Tobias Madison's *Hospitality* brings together industrial and functional materials—plywood, silkscreened neoprene, and seatbelt webbing—into a work that probes the boundaries between utility and aesthetic experience. The combination of safety-oriented materials with the graphic process of silkscreen suggests a tension between protection and vulnerability, containment and openness. Madison's choice of these mundane, everyday components invites reflection on the social and physical structures that define spaces of welcome and restraint.
