This exhibit includes three series: Liminal Animism, Ode to Julia Margaret Cameron, and Dance in Three Movements. In each series, photo-collage creates imagined possibilities, alternative realities, and suggestive narratives.
Linda Briskin has ever-shifting photographic enthusiasms, what she calls ‘photoglossia’. Light, lines, shadows, and the play of figure-ground; the juxtaposition of objects and reflections; the ambiguities in what we choose to see; the permeability between the remembered and the imagined; and alternative digital colourscapes which remind us that landscape is invented through our gaze.
** Photoglossia is a play on the term heteroglossia which speaks to a diversity of voices, styles of discourse, or points of view in a literary work.
Linda Briskin lives in Toronto and has been taking photographs for years.
