Aqua Botanica: Offerings from the Sea


Aqua Botanica preserves seaweed washed up on the western shores of  Newfoundland, and captures both its essence and its dimensionality. The series speaks to the capacity of art to transform and re-imagine found objects.

Linda Briskin is a fine art photographer with a passion for nature. She seeks light, lines, shadows, texture and reflections, and images that last only a breath. She recognizes that landscape is invented through our gaze. She often uses photo-collage to highlight the ambiguities in what we choose to see, and the permeability between the remembered and the imagined.
