BIO
Linda Foard Roberts (b. 1961, American) has exhibited her work internationally in Australia, Guatemala, Argentina, Germany, and throughout the United States. Using 8' x 10' and 5' x 7' cameras and preferring the imperfections of old lenses and the history that is untold within them, her work is metaphorical and layered. In 2016, Roberts completed her first monograph, PASSAGE, published by Radius Books, debuting at Paris Photo with signings at AIPAD in New York and Hauser and Wirth. Inspired by Wabi-sabi, the Japanese word for finding beauty in imperfection, her photographs focus on memory and the acceptance of transience and impermanence.
Roberts is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in Photography (2020). Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC; Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, Charlotte, NC; The Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, Arizona; Gregg Museum of Art and Design, Raleigh, NC; and New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA, among others. Recent exhibitions include Responsibilities of Representing (2020-23) at the Mint Museum; Re-Visions III, Sol Del Rio Gallery, Guatemala City, Guatemala; and LAMENT, SOCO Gallery, NC.
