About
Linda is a conceptual and visual artist who approaches art as research. Her research + art is fluid, participatory, and multidimensional. Her work lives at the intersection of inquiry and sensation, where data is not only collected but felt, sensed, and shared. Each act of participation alters the outcome, making the art itself a living methodology. She also draws on indigenous and ancestral understandings of knowledge-making practices that existed long before research became institutionalized.
She is influenced by the Fluxus movement, particularly Yoko Ono, Alison Knowles and other powerful female artists who pushed, disrupted, expanded our worlds. She sees conceptual art as instrumentation: a way to disrupt linear thinking, manifest the abstract, and tell stories that awaken collective memory and future possibility.
art + research is rupture and unlearning,
