Description: Storyteller figure with various animal children. Handmade of traditional Jemez clay and paints and kilnfired.

About this Award: Awarded to recognize the use of humor and animal imagery (particularly bears) in any media. Larry, who passed away in 2003, was the husband of ASM Staff member Karen Lominac. His lifelong love of animals inspired the creation of this award.

Jurors' Comments:
Jennifer: A charming sculptural piece that plays off the traditional storyteller figure replacing the children with animals of the forest.
Ramson: I felt this piece was light-hearted and my guess is that the comments for this piece this weekend will be "This is fun!" or "Just cute!"
Shonto: Definitely a great whimsical piece utilizing mythic animals.
