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.
