I am Sonja Theodora Joanna Lindell.

I work with sculpture,
installation,
printmaking and painting.
My work is a series of notes,
a code that I cannot always read.
I like mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology.
I am driven by research,
process and theories.
Theories are assumptions based on speculation, general principles
independent of the thing to be explained.
My work is heavily aesthetic to me.
I work with the same tonal values:
black, grey, white,
and nude.
I use formats that are supposed to be informational:
newspaper,
graph paper,
televisions, but I do not provide the information.
My work is interconnected: the scraps from one project is used to create something new.
You do not have to understand it,
because sometimes I do not even understand.
I am curious.
