Collection Description

At the Mission Creek Preserve in California, abandoned stone huts merge into the desert landscape. The sun creates a geometry of stripes and lines, a play of light and shadows through empty windows and slatted roofs. The burst of yellow bloom offers a sharp counterpoint to the gray stone. Geometry collection speaks to a fascination with windows: looking into forbidden, secret, and private spaces. In this series, the borders between inside and out, dream and reality are porous and permeable.

Over time, the abandoned stone huts at the Mission Creek Preserve in California have merged into the desert landscape – a grounding and a transformation. A memorial to persistence and change in the face of precarity.

Linda Briskin is a Toronto-based writer and fine art photographer. She is inspired by the fluidity between the imagined and the real, the natural and the constructed, and the authentic and the fabricated. Her focus is on inventing images rather than capturing them. She often uses photo-collage and photo manipulation to fashion unique and painterly images. She is intrigued by the juxtaposition of objects and reflections, the ambiguities in what we choose to see, and the permeability between the remembered and the speculative.

Linda Briskin exhibits widely, has had numerous solo and group shows. including Landscape Art Exhibition (Honourable Mention) sponsored by Blue Koi Gallery (Kansas), Nuance of the North  Sponsored by Artwrk, Urban Landscapes (Honourable Mention) sponsored by NY Photo Curatorm and The Same But Different Exhibition (Honourable Mention) sponsored by NY Center for Photographic Art. Her photographs have been published in literary journals and camera magazines recently in PhotoEd, The Poeming Pidgeon, South85, Humana Obscura, and Masque & Spectacle. In 2020, a photo-essay, Liminal Animism, was published in Canadian Camera.
