More about the book

"In this work: Our general assumptions about the nature of photographs are displaced; contemporary allegations that anecdotal art-work is the most relevant form of feminine expression are challenged; and historical associations of soft-focus images with romanticism and sharp-focus images with objectivity are shattered and transcended. In a carefully structured sequence, Linda Connor has dramatically resurrected photographic formalism from its cold modern grave, providing, in place of empty design or "straight" representation, the ancient archetypal visual language; symbolism. These photographs are "memories" beyond time; what they help us remember is the eternal and immediate nature and process of existence."--book jacket.
