Jurors’ Comments:
Barbara Ornelas: As an artist when you have children you try and find things for them to do. I can see him finding the top part and figuring out what to do with it.
Alex Beeshligaii: I like because she took a couple pieces of 2x4 and used the existing marking in the wood. It took a kids imagination to put it together and make it work
Ryan Huna Smith: It reminds me of my childhood, playing with blocks. What I like is the treatment of the wood: simple treatment. What I like about it also is the kind of painting where you have parental support… taking child/toy element and creating something from their culture.
