LINDA WILLIAMS
VISUAL ARTIST
In her artistic practice—which encompasses painting, drawing, ceramics, and installation—Linda Williams explores hybrid landscapes: natural territories marked by human presence. Her work focuses particularly on clear-cut forest zones and abandoned mining sites in Sweden.
​From fragments collected on-site (wood from trees marked by industrial forestry, rusted metal, or mineral residues), the artist creates her own pigments and glazes. This process creates a visual echo of the very locations from which the matter was extracted. Just like in her painting practice, the process is intuitive and deeply organic as the media takes on its own life and movement. ​Her work thus perpetuates a cycle of reciprocal influence between humanity and nature. By recomposing discarded fragments, she performs a regenerative act.
The memory of places and co-creation with the living world also permeate her series of bark rubbings. Linda Williams preserves the textures of pines, birches, and willows whose bark bears the scars of human activity—from embedded wires to barbed wire overgrown by wood. To record these traces, she often uses her own charcoal, crafted from charred wood gathered during her explorations.
