About the Photographer
Alt, Jane Fulton
American, b. 1951
In her series The Burn (2007), Jane Fulton Alt explores the regenerative yet destructive process of controlled prairie burns. Taken in Lake Forest, IL the photographs in this series depict a liminal space where destruction merges with renewal, signaling nature’s cyclical and inevitable process of life and death. Jane Fulton Alt received her B.A from the University of Michigan and her M.A. from the University of Chicago. She is a three-time winner of Photolucida’s Critical Mass and received the Humble Arts 31 Women in Art Photography Award (2012), the Photo District News Curators Choice Award (2011), the Illinois Arts Council Fellowship (2007) and multiple Ragdale Foundation Fellowships (2007, 2008, 2009). Alt has exhibited both nationally and internationally and her work can be found in many permanent collections.
