Sagarika Sundaram Kolkata, West Bengal, India, b.1986
Sagarika Sundaram (b. 1986, Kolkata, India) is a New York–based artist whose practice investigates transformation, materiality, and the intersections of the human and natural worlds. Working primarily with wool, silk, and natural dyes, Sundaram creates textile sculptures, reliefs, and installations that merge bodily and botanical forms, exploring memory, geography, and cyclical time. Her labour-intensive, hand-crafted processes employ felt—a material with deep historical and geographic resonance— allowing her to examine form, space, and texture as carriers of thought, gesture, and narrative.
Sundaram has exhibited at institutions including the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds (upcoming, 2026); Bronx Museum, New York (2024); and Al Held Foundation & River Valley Arts Collective, New York (2023). Her work has been featured at Art Basel Miami Beach, UBS Lounge (2024). Solo exhibitions include Palo Gallery, New York (2023); Allison Jacques Gallery, London (2025); and Nature Morte, New Delhi (2025, Polyphony).
Her work is held in several public and private collections.
