VCA ART 2022

Linda Studena

Master of Contemporary Art

Head of State is an installation of photographic and sculptural works that focus on the cabbage as a symbol of national identity. I’m interested in what is revealed through iterative representations of the cabbage, and how materials can be used to think through ideas relating to personal, social and political experiences. I have created a series of banners and objects using traditional and digital methods, investigating the politics of agriculture, protest and commemoration. I’m interested in how the cabbage disrupts ideas of national identity to form new connections to ideas of citizenship and political agency.
