Gallery Artists: Linda Leslie Brown

I approach my art from a number of perspectives: there is generally a confluence of my intellectual interests, my involvement with the sensuousness and symbolism of the materials with which I work, and an underlying framework of the Buddhist psychology and practice that informs my daily life. In my work it is fundamental that the materials, the methods of making and the ideas are interrelated on multiple levels. I find that the installation format allows the materials, objects, sounds and images to enjoy a playful relationship that creates a generous array of images and ideas. Elements within the installation may include crystals, motors, living plants, sound, video, wire, fabric and resin.
