Linda Briskin
Linda Briskin is a writer and fine art photographer. She is inspired by the fluid crossover between the imagined and the real, the natural and the constructed, and the authentic and the fabricated. She embraces the fictive rather than representational.
She exhibits widely, has had numerous solo exhibitions, and participated in many group shows. Briskin’s images have been chosen for many online juried shows. Recently for Urban Landscapes sponsored by NY Photo Curator (Honourable Mention), Abandoned at Chateau Gallery (Kentucky) and The Same But Different Exhibition sponsored by NY Center for Photographic Art (Honorable Mention.) Her photographs have been published widely in literary journals and camera magazines: recently, in PhotoEd Canadian Camera, The Poeming Pidgeon, South85, Humana Obscura, and Masque & Spectacle. In 2023 The Commotion chose Sisters to represent in their gallery. Upcoming in 2024 is a solo exhibit at The Rushton in Toronto.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Linda Briskin is a writer and fine art photographer. She is intrigued by the permeability between the remembered and the imagined, and the ambiguities in what we choose to see. The fluidity between the natural and the constructed fascinates her. With ever-shifting photographic enthusiasms, on any given day she can be influenced by a line, a shadow, a texture, a juxtaposition, a dreamscape or an idea. Rather than a signature style, she embraces eclecticism. As a writer, she seeks ways to integrate text and image, inspired by the Greek tradition of Ekphrasis (the cross-inspiration of art disciplines.)

Sea Change visualizes the inherent potential for metamorphosis. Below the surface of each image, and of life itself, complexities are concealed and contradictions buried. Sea Change liberates these alternative realities through various forms of photo manipulation. Each transformation—a kind of shape shifting—is unique and unpredictable, yet compelling and intriguing.
The term ‘sea change’ was first used in Shakespeare's play The Tempest in 1610. Ariel sang to Ferdinand, describing the physical transformation the sea had wrought in his drowned father: But doth suffer a sea-change/Into something rich and strange. In this image, the shift from the original photo to the transformed one, has also produced, hopefully, something “rich and strange.”
