Jurors’ Comments:
Anthony Lovato: I liked the more intense weaving that was put into this, with the diamond shapes. The pale color tells me that she used more natural colors. There’s more character and more work in the weaving.
Pam Lujan-Hauer: The crispness of the design, how well articulated it is, and the opposing colors.
Bruce Bernstein: This piece represented more complexity in terms of the amount of design on each line.
