When speaking about her selection process Juror Erin Woodbrey wrote, "I approached the submissions, ready to uncover dialogues that appeared across the work. I first looked for broad themes that emerged across many pieces and then for more nuanced connections—like an invisible thread linking one work to another. Sometimes, these connections were visual, with works sharing formal similarities or recurring imagery. Other times, they were more poetic, evoking a shared feeling."

Erin Woodbrey is a New England-based artist whose interdisciplinary work utilizes sculpture, printmaking, photography, and time-based media.
