An internationally recognized photographer and Provincetown resident, Jane Paradise captures the profound and intimate connections between people and their environments. This is stunningly apparent in her book, The Dune Shacks of Provincetown, published in December 2022. This exhibition by the same name will present many of the photos in the book. The book is both a monograph of 90+ interpretive color photographs by Jane and a cultural history of the shacks as told by the people who stayed there. These excerpts of conversation and insights from both historical and contemporary voices illuminate and reverberate with the photographs that explore exteriors and interiors of current shacks, as well as the breathtaking and isolated surrounding dune landscapes and ocean. Paradise created this work during artist residencies and visits in different shacks over more than a decade. She worked with Creative Director Joanne Dugan in developing and designing this book.

Jane is represented by the Alden Gallery, Provincetown, MA and Galatea Fine Art, Boston MA
