 A Judge's Comments:

This animated caricature reflected the artist's intellectual skill and ability to appeal to the viewer's sense of humor without being offensive. The artist is an astute craftsman and demonstrated his knowledge of wood, adding complementary objects to enhance the work. To add closure, he provides contextual data explaining  his work rationally, thereby making clear the concept of his creation. -Morris Taft Thomas, scupltor, MFA
