Two Worlds Meet

As an exchange student in Wales in this project Linda is combining the experience of the surrounding environment from living abroad with the environment from where she comes from. By experiencing different culture and nature she is concentrating on the beautiful rough hilly landscapes and rugged coastlines of Wales and bringing them together with her homelands Estonia’s simple flat landscapes and its coastlines. Linda’s inspiration comes from the sight of coastlines where rough and high cliffs of the land meet the sea gulf. It’s where the two worlds meet, but never touch each other. She has been examining the surfaces of the cliffs discovering their systems of lines and technical ways of cracking and also combining it with the blueness of the sea into her pieces. The work reflects on familiar patterns of the nature creating contrasts between smoothness and roughness from this two sides.
