Linda Luse
Linda Luse is an interdisciplinary artist based in Linz, Austria. She holds a Master’s degree in Sculptural Conceptions and Ceramics from the University of Art and Design Linz.
Her research-driven installations and sculptures investigate labor, debt, agriculture, and global economic systems. Working with ceramic minerals and pesticide-contaminated agricultural waste, she combines ancient techniques with contemporary refuse to create fragile composite works that question mass production, globalization, and ecological impact.
