Lindhardt has always been fascinated by paper, and started working with it at a very young age. She first used it as a material in woven depictions, in combination with linen, plastic and newspapers. Later, when she only used newspapers for weaving, the fleeting and transitory nature of the news and the newspapers was transformed in her works. But after a while her desire to use newspapers disappeared, because she realised that the quality of newsprint is very bad. Since a stay in Japan, she has worked almost exclusively with handmade paper. Her technique and the dimensions of her work have also changed. The scale of her works is larger, while she also folds, sews and paints the paper.
