Linda Johns

Artform:
Throughout this residency I will be exploring the use of other materials and ways of working to extend my ability to create forms which are mostly space described by line. Working to create a group of sculptures for exhibition at the end of the project, I will be looking at pattern, material and form using the laser cutter and 3d printer, and particularly with the 3d printer, exploring the possibility of intersecting forms.

Project summary:

I graduated in 2003 from Central Saint Martins College in London and since then I’ve been developing my art practice through sculpture and drawing. In 2006 I was offered a bursary membership of the Royal British Society of Sculptors and I am now an Associate Member. I am currently living and working in Northamptonshire and have shown work in London and across England.

I create sculptures which explore line and space rather than solidity and see all my work as multi-dimensional drawing. Working with metals and natural materials I use various techniques including ‘weaving’ with fine wires, bending and welding metal rods, and working with pine needles to create geodesic exoskeletal figures.

My art practice is inspired by the figure, nature and science. I am particularly interested in exploring the connections and dichotomies between our understanding of our world through quantum physics and our ancestors’ understanding of their world through mythology.
