Lynda Gammon

Lynda Gammon is a contemporary artist whose work has dealt with ideas of space and time through the disciplines of photography, sculpture, performance and assemblage. A number of her projects explore artistic production in relation to feminist practices and present alternative strategies for the representation of inhabitation through ephemeral, temporal and contingent conceptions of the spatial.
