"Linda Hoffman takes a hedonistic delight
in the materials she works with. She shows an remarkable
sensitivity to the inherent qualities of weathered wooden
boards, rusted agricultural tools, threadbare natural
fibers and other found objects from a vanishing agricultural
past."
"It's what Henri Matisse did working with
the paper cutouts or a paintbrush - he played things
off against each other. So too, Hoffman keeps pushing
her found objects until some sort of improbable and
uneasy equilibrium is achieved." Victoria
Donahue, The Philadelphia Inquirer, August 2003
