About this Award: Art works winning purchase awards become part of the museum's permanent collections. They are chosen for their technique and artistry as well as for the way in which they compare and contrast with other items in our collections.
Jurors' Comments:
D. Dittemore & S. Griset: Because we're looking at this with the perspective of producing the "Set in Stone" exhibit, we chose this piece because it presented an exotic material in a traditional style bola.
