Artist and interior architect Caroushka Streifert shares her unique perspective on construction and object fascination. From observing downpipes instead of shop windows due to her architectural heritage, to creating art from found objects in cities and nature, her work critiques mass consumption and the clutter of modern life. Operating from a top-floor studio in Stockholm, Streifert’s creations are inspired by everything from urban debris to natural finds, emphasising the importance of quantity in making a statement. Her journey from interior architecture to art reflects a deep engagement with the material and conceptual aspects of space and objects, culminating in art books that document her extensive and playful exploration of her craft.
