This small series came from honesty and necessity, exploring the simplicity of elements such as space, form, shape, and lines.   While combining collage materials, paint, and illustration, the process of creating activated intuition and trust.  These pieces are a response to circumstances in our narratives - an act of sitting down in an emotion as if it were a place, and looking around with curiosity.
Let everything happen to you.
Beauty and Terror.
Just keep going.
No feeling is final.
-Rainer Maria Rilke

Born in 1984, Linden spent her youth in the urban Sonoran desert of Phoenix, Arizona before moving to Southern California to obtain her BA in Studio Art.  She’s since lived and worked across Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
Her work centers around themes of memory architecture - its process of alterations, renewals, and inaccuracies. Fully enamored by mixed media, she uses a variety of materials to create, including paper, found fragments, transparencies, sewing thread, paint, and pastels. Blending autobiographical narratives with collective subjects such as childhood, longing, and place, Linden thinks of her collages as layered field recordings that represent a oneness - multiple perspectives of the same story.
Linden's work has been published and exhibited internationally. She is currently transitioning from living in Flagstaff, Arizona to upstate New York.
