Grace Before Dying | Lori Waselchuk on Daylight

I have been fortunate to know Lori and see this work evolve over the past several years. It was a special pleasure to have had the chance to exhibit the traveling set of framed photographs at the Photographic Resource Center in Boston earlier this year (link). Grace Before Dying addresses an intensely fascinating phenomenon--a hospice program designed and carried out by inmates at Angola state prison in Louisiana that has transformed both inmates and correctional staff. The benefits of caring are clearly drawn in Lori's distinctive work.
