Artist Statement/ Biography

Linda Loh captures incidents of fleeting colour, light or reflection, then submits them to an iterative process of translation, using a fusion of digital, photographic and painterly procedures. These in turn could be source material for further pieces. Works may include digital videos or files to be shared and viewed online, digital pigment prints - small or huge, on paper or fabric - screen based moving image works and projection installations. Deploying abstraction, she plays with perceptual experience, and ponders the aesthetic dichotomies of works arising from quiet, light-based phenomena, alternating with those that embrace vivid colour and strong forms. Her interests align with the ephemeral, elusive nature of experience and perception, and indeed mind itself.
