Linda Ingham

Linda Ingham’s mostly process-led practice grows out of her interest in landscape and place.
Her work has come to observe human- and non-human relationships; nature in conservation; human ‘placings’ of trees within a built environment, and the perceived ‘value’ of this in a world of climate emergency and war.
From a close observation of fragmented Ash leaves, poised and ‘shadowed’ as individual and group portraits to pieces showing trees in – yet not-in – where they have been placed by humans, Ingham attempts to show their beauty, importance, familiarity, whilst placing them somehow ‘on the edge’ and other.
Botanical beauty and the folk histories of plants we often overlook on a daily basis was where this began some years ago for her, moving now to present a contemporary story with a backdrop of place. Location is always a consideration in each series or composition.
