Her recent works, printed on aluminum, bring an ethereal quality to her exquisite images.

Two Lives and a Dream
by
Marguerite Yourcenar
"
I am currently rereading
An Obscure Man
from this collection of stories. It's a lot about being alone. It takes place in the 17th century during a tuberculosis epidemic. Though she never really says it, the main character has contracted tuberculosis, and eventually goes to live on an island, alone. Yourcenar was a grim and minute kind of writer. I was happy to reread it, and seems perfect for now."

In this series of image shared by the artist, we take a look at some moments from Linda's fifty year career as a photographer and educator.
