STATEMENT
“The experience of reviewing the portfolios of photographs submitted to New Works #17 proved to be an extremely challenging task. The work of the applicants informed and challenged me, and made me eager to see and learn more. Many of the projects asked the viewer to look outward and consider issues from different perspectives, while others invited us to look inside and reconsider who we are as individuals living among others on this planet.”
–Mary Virginia Swanson, Juror
