Lady in Her Tent, July 2011 by Amy Lyne
Hey, Hot Shot! First Edition 2012 Contender Amy Lyne
Contender Amy Lyne takes on Coney Island in her submission, capturing the motley crowds that flock to this NYC institution during the blazing summer heat. In her artist statement, she writes:
Coney Island has become like a Heritage site: a gathering place of people from all around New York and the world. It’s the last un-gentrified place in New York City, offering its visitors a playground where they can share a temporary sense of interconnectedness through collective amusement, cultivating an atmosphere of abandon and extravagance.
