On this guided walk-through with Chief Curator Sequoia Miller, you’ll have a chance to dive deeper into Uncertain Ground by Linda Rotua Sormin.
Uncertain Ground is a sensory-rich environment made from clay, sculpture, video, sound, hand-cut watercolour, and digital fabrication. The work layers imagery and materials to create an expansive world where figures like roosters, tigers, and dragons sit alongside text and folklore, inviting viewers to consider how contemporary city life intersects with ancestral memory and myth.
Linda Rotua Sormin, a Thai-Canadian artist based in New York, has built a distinctive artistic voice over more than two decades.

About Linda Rotua Sormin
Born in Bangkok, Thailand, Linda Rotua Sormin moved to Canada with her family at the age of five. Her sculptures and site-responsive installations embody the vulnerable and fragmentary nature of her diasporic experience. Since the early 2000s, she has established a distinct visual and material language, using raw clay, fired ceramics, found objects, and interactive methods.
Sormin’s research and writing cast light on how her work has always been influenced—though at times unwittingly—by cultural practices in her family histories rooted in Thailand, China, and Indonesia. Advocating for decolonial approaches in art and education since the early 1990s when she worked in community development in Laos, she has since taught visual art at Emily Carr University, Rhode Island School of Design, Sheridan College, Alfred University, and currently New York University, where she is a tenured Professor of Studio Art and Head of Ceramics.
