 Indigo Conat-Naar (b. 1998) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work highlights the fleeting intersections of being, memory, and place that arise from encountering objects in the world. She was raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, and graduated from Tufts University and SMFA in 2021 with a BFA in Studio Art and a BA in Philosophy. Conat-Naar is currently a MFA student in Sculpture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Conat-Naar’s practice begins with rigorous observation and reflection. Using autobiographical fragments as building blocks, Conat-Naar creates new worlds with soft edges, attending to a single point of tension until it fills the room. Replicated, altered, and broken objects become the sculptural bodies that inhabit these worlds; characters entangled with their being and sustained only by a sympathetic viewer. 

Conat-Naar’s work ranges across installation, sculpture, video, sound, performance, drawing, text, and photography. Throughout these mediums, she maintains a clear voice of vulnerability and presence, opening up worlds of possibility outside of time. Within these worlds, her work becomes a language that theory can’t refute; a manifestation of the tender specifics of being.
