Malin Bergström is an Swedish-based artist and illus­tra­tor. She cre­ates col­lages that sug­gest they might run par­al­lel with the nat­ur­al world, but not intersect. 

With one series of col­lages, Malin titles them Pure­ly Coin­ci­den­tal, with the expla­na­tion, “Any resem­blance to any oth­er world, known or unknown, is pure­ly coin­ci­den­tal”. That idea stayed with me as I viewed her work. While Malin sets up sys­tems, and mim­ics shapes and tex­tures found in the nat­ur­al world, her col­lages nev­er quite lit­er­al­ly resem­ble any­thing I know.
