BEST
OF SHOW / FIRST Place Award Winner / Ann Bodan, "Hands"
JURY COMMENT: Ann Bodan's still life
work, apparently undisturbed by computer manipulation, are
small theatres for dreams and memory. Their meanings are,
of course, open to interpretation. But the works we saw
are not about meaning. They are about sensations and associations,
with a reverence for the miniscule and the light that reveals
their hidden substance. The image of glowing plastic hands
perched on their wooden base against black, is nothing profound,
but still captivating and remains impressed in the mind
as an homage to the insignificant.
