Jurors’ Comments:
Gerald Dawavendewa: It’s an incredibly tight weaving that borders on a tapestry, if it isn’t already one. Even though it has a very complex weave it just works together as a whole.
White Swann: I chose it for the tight weave and the colors that blend very well together.
Ryan Huna Smith: I like it a lot; a very nice tightly woven design. An incredible amount of work went into it. Very nice piece overall.
