Since 1973, Linda Troeller has been a fearless explorer of the personal and sensual lives of women.
In this collection of almost 40 years of portraits and self-portraits, she is the subject - funny, pensive, bold, sexy, wise and wry.
For me, Linda's photos overflow with her search for an intimate engagement with daily life. Every image shouts: «I am here. I am filled with desire and energy. Join me!» Each image is fully 3-dimensional and dynamic. This series is a passionate journey across the rapidly changing roles, dreams, and ambitions of women in the late 20th/early 21st centuries.
