Linda Tegg’s artwork engages with life and the built environment. Her immersive installations and interventions aim to accumulate biodiversity and biodiverse perspectives within human-centred spaces. Interdisciplinary collaboration characterises much of her work. In 2018, she was a co-creative director of ‘Repair’ at the Australian Pavilion at the 16th International Architecture Biennale Venice with Baracco+Wright Architects. She created ‘Wetland’ in conversation with Balladong Whadjuk woman Vivienne Hansen for the Perth Festival in 2024. Linda works with cultural institutions and public space and has been widely exhibited in Australia, The United States, and Europe.
