Appledore Arts

	During the 2007 Appledore Arts Festival Linda Gordon created a site specific installation on Skern Beach, Appledore, North Devon. With our 2010 theme of 'Coastlines', Linda very kindly gave us permission to use this beautiful photograph of her spiral installation. Her image and her installation are a perfect and evocative example of how visual artists have been and are inspired by North Devon's amazing coastline.
About Linda : After a year-long artist's residency in rural Northumberland, Linda Gordon moved to North Devon. Whether working indoors or out, her focus has always been upon the earth and our relationship with the natural environment. Her practice explores notions of 'place' and our identity as an integral part of nature and is based mainly, though not exclusively, on site-specific installations, both in and out of doors.
	She enjoys running low-key events related to 'place', taking an increasingly wide-ranging approach to work, whilst remaining focused on the interaction between arts, community and environment. In June 2010, Linda will be running a series of 'Essential Nature Art Walks'. Participants will be responding to the beautiful coastal landscape of Northam Burrows - with drawing, photography, ephemeral art works, writing or other creative activity. To book and find further details of these walks www.essentialnature.org.uk
Linda has carried out installations, exhibitions and environmental works in this country and overseas, and is experienced in self-initiated projects and collaborations. Internet activities and new forms of social interaction and information-sharing are playing an increasingly important role in her professional practice. She also writes and gives talks and presentations on her own work and environmental arts in general. For further details please refer to Linda's own website is www.lindagordon.org.uk
