Linda Geary’s work is inspired by material processes of cutting, revision and repair. She uses collage and other approaches that reference actions of sewing and construction, modes of working that sometimes exist outside of the patriarchal history of painting, and more akin to laying a path of stones or making a quilt. Other parts of the process involve erasure, invisibility and camouflage. Textiles provide an alphabet of shape, color and pattern that she works with in order to let the work “fall apart” in order to experiment with different ways of putting it back together.
