Calvin Sawada-Jorgensen (b.1999) is an Australian artist of Japanese and Australian descent. Born and raised in a retirement holiday town on the Central Coast he grew up detached from his cultural heritage, a factor that has influenced the type of work he creates.

Focusing on elements of immigration and belonging, his work explores liminal experiences and occasions of otherness in the contemporary. His recent work has focused on the doll as a basis of identity in space, and discomfort in inter-connected realities.

Working with two- and three-dimensional work he touches on the discomfort of living between two worlds, where conformity is an impossible action. He utilises visual elements of Asian culture, viewed with a westernised lens. Informed by immigration literature, he creates works that seek to consolidate the east and west.
