Profile Type: artist
Creating large-scale installations for the public space is central to Linda Covit’s art practice. Her approach follows investigations into the overlapping areas of art, landscape art and architecture. She is interested in the development of site responsive work that lies in the challenge of rendering a site with new meaning or heightening what is already there; in creating a gesture that transforms a public space into a personal experience; in creating a work that instils a sense of place. Scale, acknowledgement of the viewer, a harmonious relationship of the built with the natural are some of her concerns.
