Johanna van der Linden (she/her) is an artist living and working on unceded Wurundjeri country. Her practice spans print making, metalwork, and sculpture, where she reinterprets traditional iconography through a contemporary lens. Johanna explores themes of embodiment, materiality, and the intersections between the body and the material world, engaging with feminist materialisms to examine the relationships between physicality and symbolism. Her exhibitions have included solo and group shows across Melbourne, such as Seventh Gallery, Blindside, and Rubicon. In 2024, she was recognized as a finalist for the William Blake Prize. Johanna holds an MFA in Sculpture from the University of Canterbury, Aotearoa, and an Honours degree in Fine Arts from RMIT.
