Linda Foard Roberts: Passage

$150.00

…an elegiac portrait of the artist’s family, infused with an open, tender love seen through flesh, cherished objects, and landscape.

— David Ondrik, photo-eye


Linda Foard Roberts: Passage is a compilation of five series, created over ten years. North Carolina-based photographer Roberts works in enduring genres—landscape, portrait, and still life—and photographs her twenty-first-century surroundings using 4 × 5-, 5 × 7-, and 8 × 10-inch cameras and vintage lenses, some over 100 years old. The result is seemingly eternal, timeless, black-and-white photography that exploits the peculiar ability of the camera to produce images that are both extremely present and yet suspended in time. 

The photographs in this volume, Roberts’ first monograph, are meant to be read like visual lines in a poem, metaphorical and layered, with each photograph bestowing a deeper meaning upon the next.

Limited edition of this book available here.

  • Linda Foard Roberts (b. 1961) makes creates work that is deeply personal, rooted in memory, family and local histories combined with philosophical inquiries about life, death, and basic human rights. Roberts is a recipient of a 2020 Guggenheim Fellowship in support of her project Lament. Preferring the imperfections of old lenses and the history inherent within them, her work is metaphorical and layered, intending to cross language and cultural barriers. Posing the environment as a reflection of ourselves, her photographs engage the transformative cycles that shape our lives, bound by time and what it means to be human, a foundation upon which we can all find common ground. Her work has been exhibited across the United States and internationally, at venues in Australia, Guatemala, Argentina, and Germany. Photographs from the Lament series are in the collections of The Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC and The Columbus Museum, GA. She is represented by SOCO Gallery in North Carolina and Sol del RIO in Guatemala. Roberts lives and works in Charlotte, North Carolina.
