Linda Ekstrom creates art works that are poetic, spiritual, and transcendent. Her media ranges from fabric to cut paper, book arts to sculpture. The works are informed by her feminist perspective, often looking through the “lens” of female literary characters, poets, mystics, saints, and women of the Bible. Ekstrom is an artist “in love with words.” She has unraveled, pondered, analyzed and parsed the writings of such women as Emily Dickinson, Joyce Carol Oates, Simone Weil, Santa Rita, Simone de Beauvoir, Rebecca Solnit, and Teresa of Avila.
Ekstrom’s works are gentle, delicate, elusive, refined and powerful. Her techniques and materials are pulled from a woman’s traditional domestic sphere – fabric, thread, books, gloves, paper, and clothing. Ever present in Ekstrom’s art is her intellectual curiosity and spiritual discernment, which have come from a lifetime of reading, learning, and pondering.
