WHAT THE JUDGES SAID
Overall, I was deeply impressed by the quality of the entries. They ran the gamut from inventive and exploratory to beautifully crafted and attentive
to material. The best combined all these qualities. In general I preferred pieces that were doing more with less – fewer materials, through joinery only where it made sense visually or structurally, one idea explored deeply and expressed clearly. Laura Mays
The work presented to the judges
in this competition is of the highest quality in terms of execution. It is often the precise execution of the smallest details that determines
the final result. A well described statement of intention often provides an insight into the piece that is perhaps not obvious by looking at images alone. Some pieces, while beautifully executed were a little too derivative. Ruth Thompson
