I’m so pleased! My ghost forest was one of 40 photographers projects chosen by the Lens Culture Critics. You can see my portfolio submission at Lens Culture, you can go to the Ghost Forest project page, or you can watch the short video below to get a sense of the piece. (yes, that is me clipping the ends of the cables.)
The wide range of ideas and the talent of the photographers is such that it is worth looking at all the Critics Choice Winners.
One of the things I really appreciate about the Critics Choice Awards is that each Critic writes a short statement about why they picked the project. Here is what Jasper Bode, Director of the Ravestijn Gallery, in Amsterdam, wrote about my work: Climate change is a topic that exists all around us. This particular project struck me in its effective simplicity. Every layer of the project is clear and literally transparent. I would love to see it in real life.
I feel like the Earth is cheering me on.
