Juror's Statement:

"Thank you to Sarah Merideth for selecting me as juror for Depth of Surface. It was my pleasure to work with Sarah and Framations to bring about a cohesive exhibit that focuses on physical dimensionality. Selections were based on adherence to theme, quality of work submitted, and presence of the works in relation to the visual whole of the exhibit. Awarded works surpass the requirements of surface texture and dimension to explore thoughtful ideas that are beyond the materials used.
Thank you to all who submitted work, especially to those that will be engaged in the exhibit dialog for the duration of this event." ~ Juror Lisa Sisley-Blinn
