About the Program
Linda Scrivener's work has an emotional component underlying all of it no matter how abstract or represntational it may be. Her formal concerns are basically sculptural with emphasis on the repetition of the same elements. The conceptual elements in her work have an inherent iconography: paper and metal become symbolic by representing and having the physical attributes of armour. Despite being an artist for over twenty years, Images of Permanence was Scrivener's first public exhibition. She had been exploring the theme of permanence both in her personal life and in the contradictory juxtaposition of materials and objects—as in the soft drawings and sculptures of anvil and steel-framed hearts: the permanence of steel and the transitory nature of love.Artist
