FAILING FORWARD AMONG 10 BEST DUTCH PHOTOBOOKS IN DE VOLKSKRANT
Failing Forward has been chosen among this year’s ten Best Dutch Photobooks by the newspaper de Volkskrant. Honoured to read Mark Moorman’s kind and insightful review and to be in the good company of a.o. Ton Grote, Jan Dirk van der Burg and Dana Lixenberg.
Mark Moorman in de Volkskrant -
‘Blom legt graag de mysteries die zich voor haar lens afspelen naast de mysteries van de kosmos, zoals ze door de NASA worden bestudeerd.
En ergens op die kruising vinden kunst, wetenschap en het leven, dat van de fotograaf en dat van alle aardbewoners, elkaar. Grote gebaren wellicht, maar als je maar vaak genoeg door het fraaie boek bladert, zie je het ook. Dat de raadsels van het universum zich overal om ons heen bevinden. En dat als je inzicht wilt bereiken, je toch moet beginnen met iets bouwen; of met het maken van een fotoboek’
