Evidence (again) | Linda Judge

‘In 1997 I exhibited a series of works at ‘Talk’, an artists initiative set up by Sandra Bridie a floor below Blindside, in the Nicholas Building. The works have long since disappeared, some were given to friends and some just got lost along the way. In this project, I intend to remake the work reflecting on a practice that has spanned some 30 years.’ Linda Judge, 2015.
