Jurors' Comments:
A. Abeita: I chose the bronze recognizing that it begins with clay; beautiful hand manipulation of clay in the element design of corn, overall structure, and theme about life. Overall the workmanship, color, and design are a beautiful combination.
J. Ware: I was struck by the bringing together of symbols of corn for sustenance, the eagle for power, and curing. Technically it's excellent.
M. Polyestewa: The bronze eagle represents the highest of the bird kingdom. Corn means life to our people and that is important for survival. Overall it's a very unique piece because of the way it's made and the representation of it.
