David Brickman Artist Statement
As an artist trained in painting, I use color as an expressive medium, sometimes even as the subject itself. Equally, my lifetime in photography has given me a high regard for qualities of light.
I lived in the West Hill neighborhood of Albany, N.Y., for five or six years before I began to photograph there in 1993. Since then, I have continued to photograph in Arbor Hill and West Hill, building up a large and ever-changing body of work. I no longer live in the neighborhood, but have maintained a studio there for more than 25 years.
It is not the intention of this project to document the neighborhood in the classic journalistic manner, so much as it is my desire to make a worthwhile body of work in the confines of my own territory, and to somehow show the arresting beauty of this rich tapestry of American urban life.
