Pia Östlund is an artist, designer and printmaker based in London. She works on collaborative site-specific commissions and limited editions on paper and textiles. These are often inspired by archive collections and libraries as much as by nature and our relation to it. Following a discovery in the rare book library at Chelsea Physic Garden, she has revived a lost art of nature printing. She is the 2023 recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship (QEST) and has co-authored Capturing Nature (Zucker Art Books, 2022 & Princeton Architectural Press, 2023) together with Matthew Zucker. Clients include Oxford Botanic Gardens, Archive of Modern Conflict, Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford.
