BIOGRAPHY
Linda Oy Ho’s ethereal and reflective sculptural artworks unite concepts from philosophy, spirituality and ecology. Ho‘s art practice highlights our innate connection to the natural world. She investigates how humanity’s cellular memories and collective consciousness are encoded with the universal evolution of life on earth and sensory experiences, ancient, ancestral and present. Luminous, polished and refined art works combine unexpected mediums such as painting, metal, wood, fibre and textiles to reflect the intrinsic narrative.
Since 2014, Ho has been selected as a finalist in eight art prizes including Yering Station Sculpture Awards for three consecutive years, Wyndham Art Prize, Brisbane Art Prize, among others.
