ALEX LINDEN

As a re-emerging artist, Alexandra Linden would argue that time, and its companion, experience, have helped enable the evolution of her sculptural vessels, portraits and functional ‘artware’. Pieces which emanate a quiet maturity and an obsession with organic form, texture, the feminine, negative space, light and shadow, and the innate natural beauty that life presents.

 Alexandra places a high value on technique and education, evident in the careful, fastidious nature of her practice. Weaving her artistic calling through her career as an educator, Alexandra always preferred to teach via the tangible mediums of writing, painting and creation, working later in marketing roles where she created eye-catching illustrations, designs and labels for some of McLaren Vale’s most recognised wineries.

While she would consider herself unattached to any particular medium, her current artistic exploration resides in the grounding medium of ceramics, a grounding material, reinforcing the sense that she is returning home to herself. In clay she finds strength and versatility, embracing the joy of using an organic, primitive tool for expression and functionality, forming a conduit between earth and gravity while bringing structure and aesthetic to an amorphous medium.
