Johanna van der Linden (she/her) is an artist living and working in Naarm. Her work sits at the intersection of printmaking, sculpture and installation and is driven by material inquiry and an ongoing reckoning with Catholic visual culture. Johanna explores themes of embodiment, materiality, and the intersections between the body and the material world, engaging with feminist new materialisms to examine the relationships between physicality and symbolism. Her exhibitions have included solo and group shows across Melbourne, such as Seventh Gallery, Blindside, and Oddany. In 2024, she was recognised as a finalist for the William Blake Prize.

Johanna holds a BA in Creative Arts/Education from Australian Catholic University, a first class Honours in Fine Arts from RMIT University, and a MFA in Sculpture from the University of Canterbury, Aotearoa.

I pay my respects to the Wurundjeri people who are the Traditional Custodians of the Land I live and work on. I would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present of the Kulin Nation, and extend that respect to other Indigenous Australians.
