JUROR’S STATEMENT
I am delighted to have had the opportunity to jury this year’s Colorado Photographic Arts Center biennial exhibition, Threshold 2025. Threshold is a term that has countless meanings—ranging from doorway to entrance, boundary to beginning, even tolerance to brink. It was interesting to see so many subtle references to these ideas in the mix of works submitted and I was struck by the number of photographs that blurred the boundaries of traditional genres. Few of them are standard portraits, still lifes, landscapes, or street photography and most seem to fall instead into a difficult-to-define category somewhere in between. Poised and stilled, almost seeming to hold their breath, many of the subjects I was most captivated by were those alluding to transitions, portals, passages, borders, and liminal spaces...
