About the Item

Linda Ganjian’s work, comprising collages and patterned landscapes, embodies a fusion of architectural and sculptural elements deeply influenced by her Middle Eastern heritage. Inspired by the ornamental patterns seen in traditional carpets, reliquaries, manuscripts and the intricate architectural details of temples and mosques, Ganjian’s pieces convey complex narratives rooted in communal histories.
In Ganjian’s collage series, “Future Monasteries,” she has created a devotional space that merges medieval and futuristic elements. The structures in these works intentionally oscillate between architecture, altars, totems, and diagrams. These meticulously constructed, symmetrical compositions evoke the architectural grandeur of sacred spaces while projecting a vision of speculative, futuristic devotion. Drawing from the visual language of Eastern Orthodox reliquaries and Byzantine iconography, the work fuses spiritual symbolism with mechanical precision, creating a hybrid environment that is at once devotional and industrial.
The compositions are dominated by mirrored structures suggestive of cathedral spires, circuitry, and ritual altars. Repetitive radial motifs and vaulted forms reference rose windows and sacred geometry, while the inclusion of photographic imagery and textured paper introduces elements of memory and cultural layering. Interlaced blue and red conduits traverse the piece like vascular or electrical systems.
Through the integration of historical motifs and contemporary materials, Ganjian constructs a contemplative “monastic” space—one that questions the boundaries between past and future, handmade and engineered, sacred and secular.
These collages also reference her grandmother, weaving personal history with artistic expression. Some aspects of the collages, such as the vine-like forms and use of gold, are reminiscent of medieval Armenian manuscripts, while other shapes and line-work reference art-deco modernism, carpet patterns, computer networks, etc. This blend of past and future, personal and cultural, imbues her collages with rich, multifaceted symbolism.
