Linda Sterling was born in Liverpool in 1954, she spent her adolescence and most of her adult life in Manchester. She studied art at Manchester Polytechnic from 1974-1977. But she now lives and works in Lancashire.
A feminist and a well known figure of the Manchester punk scene, Linda was known for her montages which often combined images taken from pornographic magazines with images from women's fashion and domestic magazines particularly those of domestic appliances making a point about the cultural expectations of women and the treatment of the female body as a commodity.
One of her best known pieces of visual art is the single cover for 'Orgasm Addict' by Buzzcocks (1977).
I think that Linda Sterling fits in well with this brief because she does work like some of the other people I have looked at using cut and paste techniques to create these montages that send out a very clear message to people.
