I’m a bit of an old-schooler when it comes to materials, and there’s a special place in my heart for people who work with the tangible stuff. Helsinki-based multimedia artist Linda Linko is known for creating all of her works by hand, primarily using the traditional methods of painting, drawing, and cutting.
In Linda’s mind, a piece needs a bit of imperfection and incompleteness, in order to provide space for the imagination. I agree wholeheartedly, and I love the open and loose feeling of her collages; so full of movement and energy. You can check out more of here work here. And if you find yourself needing a midday pick-me-up or a creative jolt, consider going back to basics like Linda, putting pen or brush to paper and exploring what comes.
