Linda Swinfield returns to a hoard of personal motifs and symbols within her art making process. They are present and often recurring within her practice and the use of objects and images links with the cross over and multiple meaning of imagery in global culture and western iconography. Swinfield commenced her art practice in the figurative traditions and recently has stripped away extraneous detail and emptied out traditional narrative moving further toward abstraction. Her current practice to date exists at the intersection between figurative traditions and the abstract.
