“[Professor Arthur C. Danto, art critic for The Nation] was looking for originality and individual vision, he said.  In the end, there were pieces that reflected what he thought might be an Idaho sensibility. ‘For example, there was a photographer I admired tremendously (Lori Dagley, Boise),’ he said.  ‘I picked five out of six of her pieces.  They were Idaho landscape.  I thought it was very high quality photography.  That person could have a show at any national center for photography without any problem.  She had a vision of Idaho I thought was pretty interesting.’”

“…the notable exception being Lori Dagley’s giclée prints of aerial views of Southern Idaho and Wyoming. […] Dagley’s soaring vertiginous panoramas have a painterly quality of their own, allowing us (in her words) to ‘forget our own bodies.’”
