I am very excited to announce that my project In the Landscape received the CENTER's Project Launch Honorable Mention award.
In addition, I was also informed that this series made it to the 3rd round of judging and was in the top 4% for the Project Competition, which received over 700 entries from around the world.
The juror, Virginia Heckert, Associate Curator, J. Paul Getty Museum, wrote:
"Donna Wan's In the Landscape project successfully borrows a tradition from landscape painting, that of 19th-century Romantic painters' introduction of a figure seen from behind to lead the viewer into the scene, to depict a wide range of vacation and leisure destinations. Elevated vantage points and less-than-ideal lighting conditions introduce distancing elements that underscore the investigative nature of her observation of individuals interacting with the landscape."
I am honored that Rachel Wolff of the Forward Thinking Museum featured and wrote about the Promised Lands series on her blog.
Promised Lands was published in the May 2010 issue (14) of Fraction Magazine.
