Linda Smith

​In my newest body of work, I have created different three-dimensional shapes. Using organic materials such as animal fiber, gauze, hemp, pantyhose and various fabrics, I weave together multiple womb-like forms using a variety of processes including burning, alternatively exposing and concealing the interior. My objective in working with such varied physical properties and materials is to create a world of weightless spheres that provide a temporary haven from outside elements. All of the materials that I work with are lightweight and easily transportable.

During my time at Weir Farm artist residency I will be working on large cylindrical shaped wombs out of different fibers such as silk organza, hog casings, silk thread, ramie, gauze, deer sinew, abaca paper and more. I would like this womb series to get larger in scale and in my current working environment which is 96 square feet, that is just not possible. I will also be doing shibori dye well as creating mono-prints and image transfer prints. This residency at Weir Farm would be an opportunity for me to not only complete a body of work but it would also give me the time and space to conceptually think through my work, which is a huge part of my
professional development process as an artist.
