Roaming Tales: Linda Sormin
September 14, 2007
Linda Sormin’s installation is an improvised structure made up of hand-built clay coils, slip-cast objects, pre-fired shards, ceramic kitsch and objects with diverse histories, including items salvaged from thrift shops.
Sormin’s process involves repeated cycles of “call and response.” Each time the artist adds to her fictional architecture, volunteers are invited to respond by constructing their own additions; in turn these additions suggest new directions for Sormin to take, and so on. While the resulting structures are architectural in intention, they defy architectural conventions in almost every way—there is.
