Sagarika Sundaram (1986) was born in Kolkata and spent much of her childhood in Dubai. She graduated with an MFA in Textiles from Parsons/The New School in New York in 2020. Previously she also studied at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad and at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.
Sundaram’s works have been exhibited at Art Basel Unlimited; the Bronx Museum of the Art, NY; Al Held Foundation with River Valley Arts Collective, Boiceville NY; the Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University, Houston, TX; British Textile Biennial, Liverpool, UK; the Chicago Architecture Biennial and Salon 94, New York. Sundaram is represented by Nature Morte and Alison Jacques gallery. She lives and works in New York City.
With their brilliant colors, supple textures, and voluptuous shapes, Sagarika Sundaram’s large-scale textile sculptures are akin to lush, otherworldly landscapes. In our digital age of sleek screens and polished images, the haptic pleasure afforded by hand-dyed felts and natural silk fibers is undeniable.
To create her work, Sundaram merges organic materials and botanical forms with techniques inspired by her mother’s sari collection and spatial configurations derived from temple architecture. At Art Basel, a vibrant, 12-meter-long textile sculpture, Released Form (2024), will tempt viewers with the possibility of curling up inside plush pockets and capacious folds.
