Linde Ivimey (born 1965) is an Australian sculptor.
Linde Ivimey was born in Sydney, Australia and obtained a Diploma of Fine Art in both printmaking and sculpture at the Claremont School of Art in Perth. She taught at the school from 1993 to 1995 and also lectured at the West Australian School of Art from 1996 to 1998. [1] In 2003, her debut exhibition at Melbourne’s Heide Museum of Modern Art proved critically and financially successful. [2]
Since her debut, Ivimey has participated in notable exhibitions such as Bone Idol in Berlin, Germany (2014), the Blake Prize for Religious Art (2000), in Sydney; and Materiality at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Gallery (1999), to name a few. Prizes received include Gomboc Sculpture Award (1992), the SECWA Fremantle Art Award (1991), and Friends of Dorothy Award for Sculpture, Perth. Her collections can be seen in many galleries including: National Gallery of Victoria, National Gallery of Australia, HOTA - Home of the Arts, University of Queensland Art Museum, Rockhampton Museum of Art and Hugo Collection.
Ivimey considers herself a visual artist. She is well known for her use of recycled materials, often incorporating bone and skin, primarily that of bird, sheep and fish, into large scale statues and small detailed figures. [3] She draws upon many skills from welding to cooking, weaving, wood-sculpture, and sewing. [4] To some her work is considered macabre. Her reaction to this was recorded as saying “I can accept they’re a little bit macabre and confronting,” she states. “But when people say ‘oh, that’s weird, I couldn’t stand that in my home’, I gently remind them that I’m not that keen on floral couches, but if they’ve invited me to sit on one, I’m not going to tell them.” [5]
In 2013, Ivimey was diagnosed with breast cancer, and hinted at this in her solo show Brave to the Bone at Martin Browne Contemporary in Sydney. One of the sculptures entitled Bandaid Bunny (a self portrait) appears admitted and sitting in a doctor’s waiting room. [6] Other works related to her experience of depression while ill, with the "black dog" featuring heavily. After the show, Ivimey began cataloging her work as "BC" and "AD", which she explained as "before cancer and after diagnosis". [7]
