Madeline Scrace (aka Madge) is an Australian born, Brooklyn based interdisciplinary writer, artist, and filmmaker, currently studying to become a sex therapist. Her work primarily centers chronic vulvovaginal and pelvic pain; an arena that is grossly under-researched, underfunded, and under-represented in medicine, art, politics and beyond.

She is the writer, creator, and lead actor of MASHED: an award-winning limited television series based on her personal experiences with vaginismus.

Outside of film, Madge works in ceramics to create artistic and totemic representations of vaginal dilators, sex toys, and gynecological tools and continues to research and write both academically and personally about all things gynecology, kink, pelvic health, intimacy, and vaginal iconography in religion. Her most recent collection of personal essays explores her relationship to kink and psychotherapy through the embodied lens of vaginal pain, excerpts of which have been performed at Joe’s Pub in the Public Theater in New York City.

1 in 4 people with vaginas are affected by chronic vulvovaginal pain. By creating artistic and educational content, Madge cultivates shameless discourse about and advocacy for chronic pelvic pain and sexual liberation. Her hope is that her work appears when you or your friend are alone and googling: "sex is painful", "my vagina is broken", "tampons feel like hitting a brick wall". Representation matters. Learning about our bodies matters. Better education and representation of our pain and shame is demanded.
