Sarah Vajira Lindström

Textile

Sarah Vajira Lindström (b. 1981, Sri Lanka, SE/NO) holds a degree in textile from Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins in London. In her body of work, Lindström explores the intersections of science, belief, and magic through her fascination with the cultural history of science. A consistent tendency in her work is the exploration of boundaries through experimentation with material and technique. The result is something that doesn't quite have a place - non things. These non-things are neither one thing nor another. It almost seems as though they have occurred on their own. Inspired by the aesthetics of science, Lindström creates an aura of trust and truth in her work. Perfection is central to the expression and creates a tension where the work is both incomprehensible and convincing.
