Linda Briskin

The images—Layered Light and WaterSky—were taken while kayaking on Stoney Lake, Ontario in the very early morning. Layered Light captures the peculiarly perfect palette of sunrise. The cabin shrouded in mist suggests a narrative of secrecy, silence and seclusion. In WaterSky, iconic trees are perched precariously on the edge of granite rock. The textures of water in the sky and on the rocks offer a symphony of spirals and light.

Linda Briskin is fascinated by the fluidity between the natural and the constructed, and the authentic and the fabricated.  In these interstices, viewers are provoked and unsettled. In these landscape photographs, the image layering through double exposure and photo manipulation  helps to capture movement, often elusive in still photography.  It also draws attention to the shifting conversations between and among water, sky and trees. 

Linda Briskin is a fine art photographer in Toronto, intrigued by the juxtaposition of objects and reflections, the ambiguities in what we choose to see, and the permeability between the remembered and the imagined. She has a passion for nature and seeks lines, shadows, texture and reflections, and images that last only a breath. She often uses photo-collage and photo manipulation to construct unique and painterly images.

Briskin exhibits widely, has had numerous solo exhibitions, and participated in many group shows. Briskin’s images have been selected frequently for 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. In 2024 The Hopper, an environmental literary journal published nine photographs in Briskin’s series Intimate Conversations.
