Piece description from the artist
The downtown area of my small town has always had a special place in my heart. My dad owned a store on the square and my favorite Chinese restaurant was right next door. This work feature the alleyway behind my dads store and a particularly beautiful building that butts up against it. I challenged myself to reimagine this part of my town, manipulating its image into something even more eye-catching than the norm. I folded my photographic paper on straight lines before exposing each image onto the paper, creating the grid like overlay onto the two collaged images. I love the play that happens with the detail and the manipulated straight lines of the buildings and power lines.

She studied at Truman State University to receive her Bachelors of Fine Arts in 2020. Since her graduation she has shown work in many group shows around the country and virtually. Her work centers around her memories and life experiences, the idea of changing perception and photographic experimentation. She is influenced mainly by her surroundings and everyday life, the potential of manipulation throughout the medium of photography and the study of psychology. Linnea alters her photographs through various experimental techniques in the darkroom. Starting with 35mm film she has migrated through a variety of photographic processes in recent years, from Pinhole to TLR cameras. Linnea is always working to break the photographic norm through experimental darkroom manipulations, while simultaneously illustrating her own emotions and experiences through her imagery.
