“Process is paramount. By combining photographs and found imagery, Linda deconstructs the reality to create new images based on personal experiences. Her work highlights what she calls Zwiespältigkeit–the ambivalence of being at ‘home’ in two places in an attempt to make sense of the world around her….As Linder Sterling once said ‘With collage, you make things wrong to make them right’.” (from her website)
