“Moments in Transition is an ongoing
an annual, juried competition sponsored by the Florida State
faculty from the College of Fine Arts. The jurying process is
blind and jurors decide on works based on their own merit
with the agreement that each artist demonstrates exception-
al skill within their chosen medium. This year’s jurors—
Carolyn Henne, FSU College of Fine Arts Associate Dean
and Art Department Chair; and Allys Palladino-Craig, FSU
Museum Director—took on the gratifying task of reviewing
nearly 400 works submitted by close to 200 artists. After
project begun in 2009, on a
120-minute train ride from Nagoya
to Matsumoto, Japan. While
traveling, I found myself seduced by
the speed and its abstraction of a
landscape streaming past. The camera
captures what the eye cannot see...
an intriguing blend of clarity and
confusion, a visual dialog between the
conscious and the subconscious.”

much consideration, 77 works by 40 artists were selected

ditional to unconventional. The FSU Museum of Fine Arts
