Linda Aloysius: Photographing ‘Teen’ outside Tate Modern, 2019.
Practice
I work intimately and intensely to hand-build sculptures known as my ‘New Model Army’. I bring a morphological gaze to found, flattened and fragmented objects and materials, generating a sculptural syntax which simultaneously invites and resists art-historical notions of ‘figuration’ and its complex poetical, philosophical and political implications. I weave this syntax into temporal ‘Fieldworks’ which variously defy, pass through and re-evaluate established conventions and parameters of art-institutional(ised) structures and spaces.

‘…the quick of recovery, the recognition of the rich hidden force that lies beyond the poverty of gendered display and disguise. This is the nub of Aloysius’ work: the relief at detecting an obscured, inner, elegant whole. A stance. What survives in long-standing.’ – Cherry Smyth, To Keep Standing, 2017
