Marian Lyndgaard
These collaged artworks incorporate domestic materials such as textiles, cleaning items, photography, and family artifacts. The quilt-like layering of these elements echoes the repetitive, emotional, and bodily work of caregiving, positioning each fragment as part of a larger narrative of repair. For example, in Track and Field, I use images of historical industrial agriculture from my childhood home adjacent to an athletic track juxtaposed against a site of ecological restoration at my current home with my children. The imagery—rooted in familial relationships of the past and present alongside lived environments—creates a dialogue between the labor of home and the structures that often render it invisible, much like the unseen stitches that hold a quilt together.
Labor Deconstructed
Heirloom fabric, thread, acrylic gel medium, embroidery floss, photocopy of family photo and archival Vermont Granite Museum images.
8”x8” each.
2025
Individual sections $500 each.
Marian Lyndgaard is a multidisciplinary artist whose work investigates interspecies relationships as a way to challenge and soften the boundaries we place between ourselves, other beings, and the spaces we inhabit. Their practice moves fluidly between visual art, community engagement, and textile repair, driven by a desire to mend not only materials, but also the frayed connections within our social fabric. They hold an MFA in Visual Arts from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a BA in Art from College of St. Benedict in MN focused in Studio Art and Art Education with a minor in Education.
