Jurors' Comments:
Ramson: It's totally in its own arena in terms of clay work. It relies on nature in its purest form rather than relying on images of nature. The artist here is either a genius or from another planet - I've never seen anything like this before. I think this is going in a totally new direction and I believe this type of work should be encouraged.
Shonto: An impressive innovative effort with great collaboration between nature and the artist.
Jennifer: The artist's work is courageous because the he has really challenged himself and people's perceptions about Native ceramics. He isn't afraid to follow his passion and to push himself as an artist.
