Description: Textured bronze cast sculpture. One of an edition of 20. 33" high. Depicts Santa Clara Pueblo female corn dancer praying for rain.

About this Award: This award is also called the "passion award". Each judge selects one piece after all other awards have been decided. The Judge's Choice Awards are designed to bring recognition to a work that each judge, independently, feels is outstanding. These pieces may have been overlooked due to the limited number of awards or because they fell outside other award categories.

Juror's Comments:
Ramson: I thought the piece was well executed and gently balanced. I admired all the colors and the textures of the bronze, textures that complimented each other very well. The simplicity of this piece is a powerful statement.
