We got word last week that the Pittsburgh-based Silver Eye Center for Photography's 2009 Fellowship Competition winner is none other than Philadelphian Katrina M. D'Autremont. Big ups! The gallery's hosting an opening reception tomorrow out Pittsburgh way if you're itching for a weekend road trip.
D'Autremont isn't from from Philly — she was born in Denver, went to school in Arizona and New York, and spent several years traveling around South America. But she lives in Philly now, so it's fair to say she's ours.
The competition pitted 186 submissions from 32 states against one another, and was judged by Andy Adams, editor of Flak Photo. Here's what Adams had to say about D'Autremont's winning series:
The photographs ... present scenarios that explore issues of intimacy within her mother's family in Argentina. Like a shoebox of snapshot memories, her pictures depict the private rituals that comprise a family's life: cleaning the kitchen, watching television, gathering for a family feast. Interior domestic spaces dominate and each of her family members is underscored by the place that binds them together. The house where she was raised plays a significant role and in many cases the environment is a lead character, revealing how place (and our memory of it) influences and forms us.

D'Autremont's winnings include a cash award of $3,500 and a two-month-long exhibition of her series, "Si Dios Quiere (If God Wants)," at Silver Eye. We'd also like to congratulate local boy Daniel Traub, one of 10 of the competition's honorable mentions; you can check out his work in an online gallery at silvereye.org. Happy road trippin'!
"Si Dios Quiere (If God Wants)" opening reception Sat., Jan. 16, 7-9 p.m., $6, Silver Eye Center for Photography, 1015 E. Carson St., Pittsburgh, 412-431-1810, silvereye.org.
