“Every corner in a house, every angle in a room, every inch of secluded space in which we like to hide, or withdraw into ourselves, is a symbol of solitude for the imagination; that is to say, it is the germ of a room, or of a house.”
Gaston Bachelard - The poetics of space
Hi, I am Heidi Linck
I am a visual artist working at the intersection of sculpture and philosophy, researching the hidden narratives of our built environment. My artistic practice is driven by a desire to find meaning in the transience and constant transformation of our urban landscape.
A place to wonder.
My photographic work invites the viewer into places and spaces that are accessible only through imagination.
When my work finds a new home, it there adds a space for retreat and reflection. A place to wonder, to recall where one has been, and to take shelter, even when there is no danger. Or to just…be.
Silence, darkness, and the absence of people are defining elements of my work. This darkness draws some viewers in, while it repels others. I observe this response with fascination.
