Illustrated Everyday Life is a poetic reflection on the desire to reshape one’s surroundings. It depicts the rooms we long for, where desire is soothed by form rather than function. Confusion meets wonder, and the viewer is invited to discover something new within the familiar.
Moa Märta Markgren is a textile-driven artist who moves in the borderland between illustration, object, and spatiality. Through her work, she explores how visual expressions affect our experience of everyday environments – how images can transform, shift, and deepen what we otherwise take for granted. Her artistic practice emerges in close dialogue with the site, whether it is a home, a public space, or an exhibition environment. It is grounded in a continuous exploration of the relationship between form and function, need and desire, where each work carries a care for the sustainable and the slow – for that which is allowed to remain over time.
