WHAT THE JUDGES SAID
I was particularly taken by the inventiveness of the flexible lid, its presence when closed is not evident but reveals itself so well upon opening. Overall a well considered piece that has been constructed to a high standard. Marc Fish
A beautifully crafted pair of boxes with a sunburst pattern that invites one to explore further. How do you open the box? With a lid that follows the curve of wave about to land on the beach.
Will Matthysen
Louen Pinpin’s pair of boxes are playful and unique with an unorthodox yet genius opening method. The sister pair act as almost a call and response to each other and create complex visual relationship. William Bayliss
