Linda Flø
(She/her)
Address: Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo, Fossveien 24, 0551 Oslo
Floor: 1
The studio is open Saturday 27 April from 12-17
I work with ceramic techniques and materials, in both traditional and experimental ways. My work often starts with an interest in sites or phenomena where distinctions between nature and culture get blurry. I explore and challenge distinctions between test and finality, and between artistic and scientific approaches. I often work with series of objects, with wall reliefs and extensively with glazes. Currently I am a master student at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, graduating spring 2024.

Research projects
From January 2023 and ongoing: Student in the artistic research project The Materiality of White, lead by Marte Johnslien (KHiO). The project is supported by Program for kunstnerisk utviklingsarbeid. The Materiality of White explores the white pigment titanium dioxide’s materiality, the pigment’s role in the modern world, and its origin in the mining industry.
