About
Linda Lencovic lives and works in East Sussex. Her work explores identity, race, and belonging through moments where boundaries are blurred. Drawing from her multi-ethnic roots, she examines the tension between self and society and invites viewers to question fixed realities and the notion of one truth.
Residues of the past surface in this new work – cracks visible, revealing what memory cannot let go. The push and pull of clay mirroring an interior world warped by ideas of race, normality, gender, and the dark shadows of violence.
At times the self ruptures; at others it is barely held together. The mends do not hide the cracks but draw attention to them, marking each fracture as a badge of survival. In the kiln, heat brings forward what was already there: memories embedded in the clay. What remains is both vulnerable and powerful, fragmented yet alive.
