“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 Zwiesp\u00e4ltigkeit<\/em>–the ambivalence of being at \u2018home\u2019 in two places in an attempt to make sense of the world around her….As Linder Sterling once said \u2018With collage, you make things wrong to make them right\u2019.” (from her website)<\/p>\n
