︎︎ Linda Persson arbetar i huvudsak genom skulpturala processer som bearbetar kontexter kring koloniala grepp av landskap, kropp och språk. Materialexperiment genom lera, sten och glas har en närhet till alkemiska försök.

Hon har en kandidat och masters examen i skulptur /ljud från Chelsea College of Art & Design och Winchester School of Art, England samt ett forskningår vid Mejan Residens, Kungliga Konsthögskolan, Stockholm. Under de senaste åren har hon arbetat med offentliga uppdrag med verk representerade i Mölndal, Uppsala, Haninge och Jönköpings län, varav ett samarbete mellan Statens Konstråd och Folkets hus & parker. 
Linda har deltagit vid Momentum Biennalen (2017) och inkluderades i boken 100 Sculptors of Tomorrow av förlaget Thames & Hudson (2019).


Linda’s performativa verk Minnesritualen var 2022 omproducerat med nykomponerat ljud som spelades live med gruppen TEARS | OV i London vid Monica Sjöö utställningen ‘The time is NOW and it’s overdue’ vid Beaconsfield Gallery.
