Linda Sormin

 

Sormin explores risk, upheaval, fragility, migration, and change through sculpture and site-responsive installation. Upturning conventions of ceramics, her works offer non-linear narratives of diasporic experience. Sormin upcycles trash objects, clays and glazes and invites the voices of people who contribute fragments of their studio or domestic waste.  Her sculptures are often extracted from the large-scale installations, reinvented with new imagery and intricate hand work.
