Each IPF Fellowship panel must consist of 20 images arranged over two rows.  The images must sit together as a cohesive body of work and you must include a written statement of intent.
My written statement:
It  may seem a little odd, but I have always loved paper. 
As a child I would sit, scissors in hand and cut-out chains of people & free snowflakes from sheets of paper just to entertain myself.
When I started a 365 photography project back in 2011 it didn't take long to run out of things to photograph. Once again I turned to a blank sheet of white paper; this time to make something to use as a prop.
All these days later I'm still taking a photograph everyday. Making stuff from paper has become my “thing” and with my lights and camera I bring my imagination to each paper scene.
This panel of 20 images comes from my on-going photography project and represents a glimpse of how I imagine the night would look if the world was made of paper.

My Husband Scott MacBride also received his Fellowship in Photography on the same day, apparently an IPF first :)
