(S)Light of Hand at Photo Eye Collective - Juror's Award!
I am honored to have my 3-D “Surprise Box” (To Look for the Whelks) and Pink Hydrangea, a tricolor gum bichromate/cyanotype print accepted into this year’s (S)Light of Hand Juried Alternative Process Exhibition, sponsored by and held at the Photo-Eye Collective, located in Escondido, California. This year’s juror is the amazing and ever-supportive Ann Jastrab. And I am doubly honored and thrilled to have received the Juror’s Award for this work. And wait; there’s more! — This Award means that I will be having a 2-person show, exhibited at Photo-Eye in April 2024, with photographer extraordinaire, Debbie Achen, who was given the Director’s Award by Photo-Eye Director, Donna Cosentino.
Enormous appreciation to both Ann and Donna! You can read more about the exhibit and see all the exhibited (S)light of Hand work here.
“A photograph is a (S)Light of Hand, a magic trick of sort, conjured into being. Light is summoned and chemistry is concocted making visible both the intangible and the corporeal. It is heart and mind, imagination and craft, melding together into an experience of life-altering alchemy.
We, here at our Collective and Gallery have a deep respect and affection for historic processes. In this juried exhibition, we wish to celebrate this love for hand-made, photo-based processes and invite you to view this magic-making wizardry in our spellbinding juried show, (S)Light of Hand.”
