"Lindroth has devoted her life to the taking of pictures; to the photographing of life around her. Her early-in-life attraction to photography as a means to both record the truth and somehow allow for the lie of illusion to coexist is the fascinating thing she holds onto in theory, dedication to the medium itself, and, here, with her photographed boxes. We experience a transformation of the object through the photographic process itself. You mean to say that that wonderful detailed arrangement of form and color and line evident is simply an old box of Pall Malls?" (Quoted from Lauri Szpak's 2015 essay on Lindroth: https://lindalindroth.com/?page_id=685)
