About Them:Self, Linn stated, “In continuing to draw, paint, and collage portraits and looking back over this work, two questions arise for me. What has driven me to do these portraits, and why this continuing range of approach? The most obvious answer is because I wanted to and needed (need) to. The thing about these two aesthetics, schools, approaches, the observed and the made up, is they are both about discovery. And at this point, all is fair game.”
