Sagarika Sundaram

Sagarika Sundaram is an Indian artist whose brilliant textile sculptures transcend traditional craft boundaries. With their lush colors, supple textures, and voluptuous shapes, Sundaram's large-scale works are akin to otherworldly landscapes that invite tactile exploration and contemplation.

Her practice merges organic materials and botanical forms with techniques inspired by her mother's sari collection and spatial configurations derived from temple architecture. Each piece is a meditation on heritage, femininity, and the transformative power of textile arts in contemporary sculpture.

Sundaram's work has been exhibited internationally and is part of several prestigious collections. Her innovative approach to traditional Indian textile techniques has positioned her as a leading voice in contemporary fiber art, bridging cultural heritage with avant-garde sculptural practices.
