Artists in the space
Linda holds a Master's in Plastic and Visual Arts with a focus on sculpture and community work centered on Indigenous thought and critiques of extractivist ideologies. Through her practice, she engages with life's diverse manifestations, creating opportunities for freedom and expansion in spaces, activities, and narratives where these qualities feel absent.
Her approach treats experience as a vessel for world-building ideas. She examines materials and objects, seeking flaws and branching paths that allow situations to be experienced differently—not as inevitably doomed, but as productively unusual, rendering the present moment tangible. Her work remains site-contingent, acknowledging how space perpetually transforms the questions we ask. Within this framework, she pursues an intermediate state—a lapse, a moment of productive strangeness—where seemingly distant conditions reconcile within a fossilized, unstable, crosshatched temporality.
