• Biography
  Linda Ge was born in Fort Collins, Colorado but has lived most of her life in Iowa. She received her BFA in Drawing and Painting from the University of Iowa in 2012, and relocated to Colorado in 2014 to pursue a two-year post-baccalaureate program in Ceramics at the University of Colorado Boulder. She moved back to Iowa in 2016 for a residency at the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio.
  
  Linda currently works as the Gallery Assistant and Inventory Manager at the Gilded Pear Gallery in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
  

  Statement
  The sculptures and drawings I create are vague reflections of what we are familiar with. An essential subject I focus on is the human body. The body not only houses multiple micro- and macrocosms, but it in itself serves as a singular component in the complex structures of our world. By observing the anatomy and similar forms echoed in nature, I reduce these elements down to their most basic components, then reconstruct them back together. The results are often whimsical and uncanny.
  
  My aim is to blur the lines between two-dimensional and three-dimensional pieces. I extract forms from my drawings and flesh them out in clay, firmly grounding their existence in our reality; the ceramic sculptures and vessels in turn act as three-dimensional canvases. In this sense, my drawings and ceramic pieces are extensions of one another rather than separate entities. As a whole, the processes I go through – extracting, deconstructing, and rebuilding – are ways for me to confront the things in life that fascinate me. Things that leave me confused and unsettled. Horrified and in awe. It is through confrontation with these elements that I am able to feel, not always and necessarily more comfortable, but more understanding of the peculiar.
