This body of work explores the stark reality of the global displacement crisis, focusing on the 120 million individuals forced from their homes in the African Continent. I look closely at the women and children who make up nearly half of this vulnerable population.
Through a series of acrylics, inks and collage I bear witness to the “Desert Amma’s (mothers), serving as a monument to their journeys.

Linda Kirkland is a South Wairarapa-based abstract artist whose work unfolds through intuitive layers of paint, mixed media, and remembered experience. Guided by instinct, Linda embraces spontaneity, allowing each mark to emerge from a dialogue between memory, place, and the natural world. Her love of plants and flowers often informs the organic forms and shifting palettes that appear throughout her work.

An ember holds potential. An ember, if fed, can grow into a consuming flame or fade into ash. Fanned to flame it must be contained to feel safe. Fire is a symbol of creation, connection and transformation.
In this group exhibition, fire is explored as both subject and/or medium. Artworks span all forms and disciplines—from those reflecting on the impact or meaning of fire or works forged, burned, or shaped by flame or heat.
