Work

Lynda Frese: Holy Memories & Earthly Delights

Her 2018 exhibition “Lynda Frese: Holy Memories & Earthly Delights” at the Hilliard Art Museum surveyed 40 years of the artist’s work, from early toned gelatin silver prints produced in California to recent photo-collage and egg tempera works. An eponymous monograph with critical essays was published by UL Press. The catalogue "highlights a selection of early gelatin silver photograms and experiments made in California, while tracing a steady trajectory, from 1978 to 2018, of her continued interest in human and natural forms," said curator Laura Blereau.[3]
