About…

Environmental artist, Linda Gordon (Throughstones).

Hello, and thanks for visiting my THROUGHSTONES blog.

I am an artist whose work is about ‘place’ and the endlessly shifting movement of life. My practice is wide-ranging – often taking the form of sculptural installations, both large and small, in and out of doors – always temporary. in keeping with the eternal movement of life, and lasting for perhaps many years to just long enough to take a photo. 

THROUGHSTONES,  reflects my interests, themes and working processes, as well as  day to day experiences, musings, walks and explorations in nature.

From time to time, I will wander off to take a look at anything that catches my attention – from artists I admire, exhibitions and matters of ecological interest, to small local events and family life – anything in fact, that for me makes life meaningful and real.

It has always been important for me to work close to the place I call home, for however long or short a time. There is a lot in these pages about North Devon, where I have been living since September 2006. Before that, I was on a year’s residency in rural Northumberland, during which I made a circular stone piece called Throughstones, which became the title of this blog. It is also my internet nickname! I use it on social media sites and other places where you can find my work.

Two views of Throughstones – made with stone from a nearby disused drystone wall, and sealed with imagery of local trees in winter. 

Why did I pick this for my blog and nickname? For me, the significance of the Throughstones piece was that it encompassed in a direct physical form what I could not express in any other way – from the universal to the absolute specifics of a particular spot on earth.

I  love hearing about people’s everyday explorations, adventures and places. I enjoy sharing the experience, even if I can never go there physically myself. So I am very much looking forward to sharing thoughts, ideas and impressions with you, about the amazing world we all live in.
