About

LINDA PAGANI is an interdisciplinary artist whose early photographic work initiated a career-long inquiry into the sensorial experience of an environment. Her ethereal images extract the space between, transforming architecture into compositions of line and light, and landscape into dream-like states. In recent work she reconstructs the built structure, adorning walls with sculptural elements, while continuing in her investigation on emotional connection with her surrounds.

Early exposure to artisanship has greatly influenced Pagani’s process and materials. Working with older technologies (analog camera, paper-making, enameling) and materials (copper, porcelain, glass), she bases her work in quiet and studied form.

Initiating her studies in Interior Architecture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Pagani went on to complete a four-year Studio Diploma in Fine Arts at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. She has received awards and fellowships for her work, including the Karsh Prize in Photography, and her alma mater’s prestigious Traveling Fellowship. Her work is held in private and public collections, including the Brigham Women’s Hospital Collection, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Pagani lives and works in Lexington, MA, inspired by her muse, her home.
