Jurors’ Comments:
Terry DeWald: I felt that this antelope dancer represented the highest quality of craftsmanship and difficulty to do. The remarkable skirt lines in front, the very accurately depicted natural rock face on the back, and color.
Rachel Sahmie: Just a beautiful work with the stone work in the back and then you see the front.
Polly Folwell: The excellence in craftsmanship and to work a bronze piece to come to all the detailed final looks to make it look other than just bronze takes some craftsmanship.
