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.
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.)
