I’m honored my work from my project The Unchosen Ones: Portraits of an American Pastoral has been chosen for Critical Mass 2021 Top 50. I appreciate the support of Photolucida and the jurors for this opportunity to share my work. When I began this project in 2015, I never had sights on the critical-acclaim that would follow. I couldn’t have done this alone and appreciate the support from mentors, my gallerists at Burnet Fine Art & Advisory and Olson Larsen Galleries, and the trusting participants from #TheUnchosenOnes project. I want to give a special thank you to Sarah Leen for believing in this project from the beginning, Alison Nordström for writing for the book, Paula Tognarelli for offering my first museum solo at Photolucida, and MW Editions for making the trade book possible (early copies arrive soon!). Ewa Zebrowski thank you for being a lovely writing buddy and Hans Weise for collaboration with the upcoming video documentary.
