Recognisable everyday forms are often the starting point for Kajsa Lindberg's work. She finds her inspiration in almost insignificant small objects, as well as in strong and almost monumental surfaces and forms. What the forms and objects that inspire her have in common is that we usually do not notice them or take them for granted. Lindberg's world magnifies thoughts about the unspoken rules of everyday life, what is considered important, manuals we are expected to follow and the measurable.
Lindberg collects receipts, notes, and small things as a kind of contemporary archaeologist in a process that is constantly ongoing. The studio is filled to the brim with boxes like a kind of working archive, and the artistic work process slowly merges with life itself. In the material she collects and in finished works, letters, numbers and symbols are constantly present. Sometimes they emerge completely like the letters in the large crank Ink. Sometimes they just leave traces, but they are always there.
Kajsa Lindberg was born in 1980 and works in Stockholm.
